All this put together adds up to terrible danger, forest fire, scavenger of forests, a roaring hungry monster consuming everything in its path. Bill has sounded the alert. The forest around Naughty Pine is tender dry.

All fire towers are carefully watching for the slightest wisp of smoke to curl up from the millions of acres of treetops. All eyes are watching, watching by day and by night. They're watching for fire.
