Dandelion Clocks PDF Download

Excerpt from Dandelion Clocks: And Other Tales Every child knows how to tell the time by a dandelion clock. You blow till the seed is all blown away, and you count each of the puffs - an hour to a puff. Every child knows this, and very few children want to know any more on the subject. It was Peter Paul's peculiarity that he always did want to know more about everything; a habit whose first and foremost inconvenience is that one can so seldom get people to answer one's questions. Peter Paul and his two sisters were playing in the pastures. Rich, green, Dutch pastures, unbroken by hedge or wall, which stretched - like an emerald ocean - to the horizon and met the sky.
