These flowerlike leaves amidst the gra** are said to be good for mountain dysentery. That is why the hind limbs of the gra**hopper, look so robust. Why does the dragonfly show such marked preference for small violet flowers? Now it is evening, the crickets will start their night long song, the bullfrogs don't even know how out of tune they are. Or maybe they do, maybe they strike this discordant note, just for the pleasure of keeping me awake.
