Summary

Billy hears a noise coming from the woods. He and his sister Emily look for the source of the mysterious sound.

Narrator: Male

Story Begins: 8:48

A Song in the Woods Excerpt:

As they made their way into woods, the sound grew louder and louder. But then, as the trees surrounded Billy and Emily, the trilling suddenly stopped. The two children looked around. Plants with large, heart-shaped leaves covered the ground, but the children couldn’t see any animals that could be making the sound. Billy and Emily looked at each other, puzzled. Nodding to each other, they began walking again, but as soon as they moved, the trilled song began again.
This time, Billy and Emily each stepped towards a different tree. Billy stood by a big maple tree, and Emily stood by a smaller sapling. The trilling continued but didn’t seem to be coming from either the maple or the sapling. Billy moved over toward an old tree stump, and Emily stood beneath a tall pine. They could still hear the trilled song, but the source of the sound was not the tree stump or the pine tree.
