Several residents have spotted what appeared at first to be
some sort of Ent, or tree man, in Smith park. Several parents were frightened
when he gave their children leaves and pieces of bark. “You can’t have your
kids getting bark from just any tree man,” Exclaimed Jenny Oaks, park goer, and
mother of three children. “We come to this park all the time, but unless they
cut him down, we will be taking our playfulness elsewhere.”
After a brief hunt, we found the tree man posing as a
popular tree. He refused to make any comments, mumbling something about us
being hasty, but accepted our offer for an interview under the condition that
we pour a pint of mountain spring water on his feet, or as he prefers to call
them “roots”.
