The Red Tree
"Wow, That is absolutely amazing!" breathed Freya shading her eyes from the dazzling, ruby - red burst of light standing in front of her. Delicately she reached out a shaking hand and stuck it into the light. She felt a rough bark and jumping back in surprise a squeaky voice asked "How can I help you?"
"I um was just wondering..."
"Oh, the tree," which had now strangely turned back to normal,"that's my home"
Suddenly Freya realised she had been talking to the tree.. "Hello?" She muttered uncertainly but all was silent. "Oh well," mumbled Freya trying not to sound sad. "I must have imagined it."
