Challenge in the Old Orchard

Lasses can't climb trees!

I'm not a lass!

Not a lass! Go on! Have you been in the Sun too long? Has the heat turned your head?

I'm not! I'm a girl! And girls can climb trees!

No they can't!

Watch me, Hairy-Farry! I'll beat you to the top!

Don't you dare, Mouldy-Goldi!

More climbing, less shouting, you'll go on faster. ...are you sure you're a Took? Tooks climb much faster than you are right now...

You'll tear your dress!

Too late... But I reached the top first! (What Mum will say... *sigh* Girls oughtn't climb trees... but they can!)
