Azriel got hurt on a sticker bush and his finger was bleeding from being poked by a thorn. He was near hysteria (as is common when blood is involved) and Mark quickly came up with the BANDAID TREE solution. He told Az that the Willow tree was really a bandaid tree and that all the leaves were special bandaids for just such an owie as his. He picked a nice long leaf off and wrapped it around Az's owie. Amazingly this made everything better for Az and it was off to playing around as usual. As we were walking along a bit later he said to me, "There sure are a lot of Bandaid Trees around here". I agreed, of course. He then proceeded to pick his own "bandaid" as he needed a fresh one. Anyhow, it was much cuter as it was taking place. Somehow the retelling of such a story really loses some of the most important elements of it...thus the saying, "Guess ya had to be there"!
