What do you think?
Do you want it?
:54:03
This is a Norway maple.
Latin name, acer platinoides.
:54:09
Turns red in the fall.
:54:11
Very, very pretty.
:54:12
Red?
:54:14
You know,
the red leaves in the fall.
:54:17
Very, very pretty.
:54:22
How did you find out
about all that?
:54:24
I asked.
:54:27
I took the leaves to a Japanese
nursery, said I liked trees.
:54:31
They said,
"We like trees, too."
:54:33
So, we sat on a manure sack...
:54:36
and talked about it
for a couple of hours.
:54:40
This is a red oak.
:54:42
Latin name, quercus rubra.
:54:46
It'll outlive us both.
:54:48
- That one?
- Mm-hmm.
:54:58
How old do you think it is now?
:55:00
I'd say it's about
three hundred years old.
:55:04
Let's go sit down over here.
:55:23
I lost my dad, too,
not too long ago.
:55:29
My dad was sick for a long time.
:55:35
The thing of it is, see,
I, uh...
:55:39
I had to put him in a home.
:55:42
I couldn't read,
so I couldn't hold down a job.
:55:45
I couldn't take care of him.
:55:49
If I'd been able to read,
he might still be alive.
:55:55
I'm... I'm afraid of the dark.
