The Monkey, who is the most imitative of animals, descended from the
treetop and endeavored to do as they had done.
He whistled with surprise when he saw Mowgli being dragged up to a
treetop and heard him give the Kite call for--"We be of one blood, thou and I." The waves of the branches closed over the boy, but Chil balanced away to the next tree in time to see the little brown face come up again.
The robin, who had flown to his
treetop, was still as all the rest.
The moon had been lighted and was hung in a
treetop. The liquid stillness of the night enveloping him made him feel vast pity for himself.
At the bend of the Danube, vessels, an island, and a castle with a park surrounded by the waters of the confluence of the Enns and the Danube became visible, and the rocky left bank of the Danube covered with pine forests, with a mystic background of green
treetops and bluish gorges.
A slight wind was moving amongst the
treetops, the night was clear but moonless.
I remember as a most pleasant impression the broad, clear front, its open windows and fresh curtains and the pair of maids looking out; I remember the lawn and the bright flowers and the crunch of my wheels on the gravel and the clustered
treetops over which the rooks circled and cawed in the golden sky.
Thick streamers of black smoke shot with threads of red fire were driving up into the still air, and throwing dark shadows upon the green
treetops eastward.
The top of the pole was opposite the roof of the building, so it was but the work of an instant for the muscles that had for years sent him hurtling through the
treetops of his primeval forest to carry him across the little space between the pole and the roof.
The robins were singing vespers in the high
treetops, filling the golden air with their jubilant voices.
It was, however, continued without any apparent consequences, until the moon had set, and a pale streak above the
treetops, at the bend of the river a little below, announced the approach of day.
But in a little while I see a pale streak over the
treetops, and knowed the day was coming.
