**Page 5:** Fern sighs. "Where is a quiet place?" she asks.

**Page 6:** She walks slowly past a tall, old oak tree with wide branches. Under it, the air is still and peaceful.

**Page 7:** Fern sits on soft moss. She opens her book. Ahh, quiet!

**Page 8:** A leaf drifts down. It lands softly on the page. Shhh.

**Page 9:** Fern reads and reads in the lovely quiet shade. Her wonderful story takes her far, far away.
