As we bid farewell to the fictional world of The Silly Little Girl and the Funny Old Tree, we are transported back to the real world of ours. The Funny Old Tree is now a sickly and elderly Father. The family pools their money, food and resources to look after him, yet the infrequent family dinner is often clouded by an indescribable uneasiness. Time passes, and Father's health continues to deteriorate. The family seems to have grown accustomed to this inevitable decline and have moved on with their lives...
There was a time when we grew up under the tree's care and protection.
Now the tree has aged - it is now old and weird, and we drift gradually apart.
The storm is fast approach, is it only the Silly Little Girl who will stand beside the Funny Old Tree and listen to him?
But who is still a Silly Little Girl?
