THE LEGEND OF GIANT LITTLE NATALIE <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A wonderful, inspirational story
\n is told to children in the East.
\n It is known as The Legend of Giant Little Natalie.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Natalie was a little girl who loved trees.
\n When there was a draught,
\n she would wander the roads, byways and farmlands
\n with her watering can,
\n She is said to have saved
\n many thousands of trees,
\n until one dark day, while scurrying to safety
\n in a horrid thunderstorm,
\n she was struck by lightning and died.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Ever since,
\n certain farmfolk in Natalie’s town
\n have claimed that at various times,
\n during such-and-such a draught,
\n a giant Little Natalie could be seen
\n watering the parched trees from above
\n with a giant watering can.
\n Was it her ghost?
\n An angel?
\n Or just a shadow
\n projected huge onto a wall.
\n No one knows for sure.
\n But the curious thing
\n to this very day,
\n no trees in Natalie’s town
\n ever die,
\n except of old age or disease.
\n Nor are townspeople liable
\n to cut any down.
\n And there is much speculation
\n as to why the town
\n has the most beautiful trees
\n in all the land.
\n The townspeople know.
