This week's free story comes from the The Willowbee Tree collection. It's called "The Smell of Fire."   Little Ty did not enjoy a recent camping trip with the rest of his family. He complained the whole time about the different sounds, and tastes, and especially the smells. When the willow tree takes him to the mud pools of New Zealand, Ty and a feisty Kea bird learn what amazing things one can see once you accept the intense smell for what it is: the smell of fire.   If you enjoyed that story, there are hundreds more where that came from.
