My grandfather and I would take walks in "the forest" which was an area about the size of a small backyard but to a young child it was never ending. There were conks or "toad stools" as he called them on the sides of the trees and he said elves used them to see above the tall grasses of the forest floor if they lost their way and needed to find their way home. My grandfather told me if we removed the toad stools from the trees the elves would no be able to find their way home and be lost in the forest forever. <br /><br />I was always facinated by the story and by the amazing colors. To this day if I come upon one I cannot remove it from the tree as nothing was sadder to me than not being able to find my way home. Funny how some stories stay with us for a lifetime.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592609819034215504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-87413019010345749452011-05-22T17:24:33.758-04:002011-05-22T17:24:33.758-04:00Conk?
