Classic Tales: Amrita and the Trees , Big Baby Finn

Amrita and the Trees Amrita loves the trees. The beautiful, big, green trees. The leaves keep her cool. But one day men come with axes. ‘The King wants wood,’ they say. They chop and chop. Then it rains and there are no trees to hold the mud and water. The river floods the village. The villagers build their village again. And the new trees grow big and strong. But now the men come again. Amrita must do something, but what? Big Baby Finn Finn is a good giant. And Oonah is a good wife. She is a good, clever wife. One day, Finn sees Big Bad Benan, a long way across the sea. He is coming for Finn. ‘Help! shouts Finn. 'Quick! Make a big baby’s cradle!’ says Oonah. ‘Now get in! And don’t say anything!’ Now they can hear Benan coming. ‘Where’s Finn?’ he shouts. ‘He’s not here,’ says Oonah. ‘It’s just me here. Me and the baby.’ What does Benan do?
