City Jim came to the country to find maple syrup.
City Jim found Country Dwight fishing on the ice.
“Where can I find maple syrup?” asked City Jim.
“In the trees,” laughed Country Dwight.
“What trees?” asked City Jim.
“Maple trees!” answered Country Dwight, dropping another fish into his pail.
“What trees are maple trees?” asked City Jim. “They have no maple leaves now!”
Country Dwight showed City Jim how a maple tree makes buds and branches.
Country Dwight showed City Jim how to tap a tree.
Country Dwight showed City Jim how to pour the sap.
Country Dwight showed City Jim how to boil the sap.
Then Thelma made waffles for City Jim and Country Dwight.
“Waffles are good with maple syrup," said City Dwight.
“They certainly are,” said Country Dwight. “Please come back next year!”
