“The wooded hills”
Down in the river valley most of the forests were dense.
The sun could not shine through the thick leaves of the trees.
There was not enough sunlight to make the roots and berries grow.
| Acorns |
There were not many nuts and acorns on the trees.
So the Tree-dwellers could not live there.
Out on the grassy plains there were no trees.
The Tree-dwellers could not live there.
Near the head of the river valley there were hills and uplands.
