Childish nature

I am a registered childminder and thought your readers would love this. I was out for a walk with two of my childminding children, looking at the trees and flowers. One child got rather upset. When I asked him what was wrong he said, 'Oh look, that tree's melting in the sunshine.' It was a weeping willow.

He was so interested that there are many different types of trees and happy to discover it wasn't really 'melting away'.
