I can see the field!!
We got up this morning to move things out of the way for a truck. Sifto was out, and so was Hunny. The truck rolled into view, so we popped Hunny in the house. Sifto was by the tree in question.
I got the chicken's eggs as the truck backed up toward the tree. It was red, and quite big. It had a 'cherry picker', which is the basket that lifted them up.
I put the eggs in the fridge, and Elena and I ran to our room where we got the full view. The two men were lifted up. They started with the branches on the bottom, which were small. Slowly they worked their way up the tree.
All the while Elena and I were giggling with each other as the third branch fell.
"Well, there goes Sifto's first life."
I counted the seconds it took for the branches to fall. Some were only two, some three. I don't think it took longer than that.
I liked when the bigger branches fell. It was cooler to see.
Another branch, and another.
"Tee hee hee... Sifto was just about to get out too.."
Soon it was a naked tree. No branches, nothin'. It looked very sad.
Mr. Chainsaw-Man began working on the trunk.
He got one chunk off, then was working on another. He stopped a moment, and pushed the top. The whole tree shook.
Mr. Chainsaw-Man turned to Mr. Chopper-Man and said something. Mr.Chopper-Man nodded and then grabbed a rope.
"Hey! They're practicing their lassoing!" I said happily.
Mr. Chainsaw-Man and the other got slowly to the ground. They tied the cable onto the truck.
Mr.Chopper-Man went into the truck, and Mr.Chainsaw-Man went to the tree. He began sawing the tree. He cut a small chunk out of it. Mr.Chopper-Man inched a little forward.
The tree went CRACK! and it fell.
Hurray!!
Well, now we have the tree laying on the ground surrounded by branches. It's fun to climb. So the tree's gone. And I'm happy.
...oh, and Sifto was out of the way the whole time. But as soon as the tree was on the ground, he jumped on it. :)
Goodbye, old tree.
