I’m stronger than you, Willy!

That isn’t true!

You say that because you’re weak!

In winter, it snows a lot.

Willy’s branches bend.

The snow falls to the ground.

Oscar’s branches are hard. They can’t bend.

Willy tries to help Oscar.

I can’t move, Oscar!

Oh no!

In spring, Willy is fine, but Oscar...

By the summer, Oscar is OK. I’m sorry, Willy.

My branches are strong, but you are stronger.

Sometimes the weak are stronger than we think!
