Already Monday was here. He hoped he didn't have to go to school. At nine O'clock, Swaminathan wailed, "I have a headache."
Mother generously suggested that Swami might stay at home. At 9.30, when he ought to have been in the school prayer hall, Swami was lying on the bench in Mother's room.
Father asked him, "Have you no school today?"
"Headache," Swami replied.
"Nonsense! Dress up and go."
"Headache!"
"Loaf about less on Sundays and you will be without a headache on Monday."
Swami knew how strict his father could be. So he changed his tactics.
"I can't go so late to the class."
"You'll have to. It is your own fault." "What will the teacher think if I go so late?"
"Tell him you had a headache and so are late."
"He will scold me if I say so."
"Will he? Let us see. What is his name?"
"Samuel."
"Does he always scold the students?"
"He is a very angry man. He is especially angry with boys who come

Once I crept in an oak wood - I was looking for a stag.

She said: 'I have your secret here inside my little bag'
Then she began to cackle and I began to quake.
She opened up her little bag and I came twice awake
Surrounded by a staring tribe and me tied to a stake
They said: 'We are the oak-trees and your own true family
We are chopped down, we are torn up, you do not blink an eye.
Unless you make a promise now-now you are going to die.'
"Whenever you see an oak tree felled, swear you will plant two.
Unless you swear the black oak bark wrinkle over you
And root you among the oaks where you were born but never grew."
This was my dream beneath the boughs, the dream that altered me.
When I came out of the oak wood, back to human company,
My walk was the walk of a human child, but my heart was a tree.
