Spirit of the trees Guides Young Gretchen and Emil
A fragmented tale follows Gretchen and Emil as they gather mosses and winter greens for a window display. They meet a gray old crone in the forest who reveals herself as the spirit of the trees, teaching that nothing is truly old and winter holds youthful heart. The children return home shaken yet comforted by the fray.
