Read the excerpt from The Scarlet Ibis
1 It's strange that all this is still so clear to me, now that
the summer has long since fled and time has had its
way. 2 A grindstone stands where the bleeding tree
stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now if an oriole
sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves,
a silvery dust. 3 The flower garden is prim, the house a
gleaming white, and the pale fence across the yard
stands straight and spruce 4 But sometimes (like right
now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the
grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes
is ground away-and I remember Doodle
