The children go back outside to visit the tree after talking with Allan. They take a closer look at the specifics given to determine how the tree collapsed.
Lia W walks with a group of her peers pointing to the area where it broke, “Look at where it bend. It use to be up there, that’s where.”

Jenna finds a branch connected to a piece of the tree trunk. She looks closely at it and follows the imbedded line of the branch reaching the center of the tree.

Lia W: “Look at this Maria, it’s soft.”
Giuliana: “It looks like sand is in there. What is it Miss Maria? Come feel it.”
Maria: “I don’t feel sand but I see the area you’re talking about, it does look like sand. What do you think it is?”
Giuliana: “It’s part of the tree. It’s where the tree broke, it’s rotted here.”
