It's a good day to take down things that are old or dangerous. Can you see a man with a red coat in that tree? He is a tree surgeon. The tree is very tall and he needs a rope. He is sawing down several branches. Now the tree will be safe. In our garden there is a rusty shed to be dismantled. We don't need a rope but a screwdriver and hammer. It's not difficult – the shed wants to fall down itself. A little robin is watching the work from a silver birch tree. He would like to hop down and catch some little invertebrates. And what's this on a plank? Look at its shadow! It's a butterfly.
