Dandelion Wine - Ray Bradbury

There are five billion trees in the world. I looked it up. Under every tree is a shadow, right? So, then, what makes night? I'll tell you: shadows crawling out from under five billion trees! Think of it! Shadows running around in the air, muddying the waters you might say. If only we could figureway to keep those dam five billion shadows under those trees, we could stay up half the night, Doug, because there'd be no night!
