You may not think that the life of a stick is very interesting. This is because you've never been a stick. And you've never met George.
A stick's life almost always begins as a twig, surrounded by brother and sister twigs. These siblings will fight with each other in fierce competition to develop into strapping young branches. Most don't make it that far.
At this stage in our story, George is still a twig. He cannot control his motor functions - but that's hardly relevant, seeing as how even a fully-fledged branch has no motor control either.
Instead, George can only observe his surroundings, and hope that everything works out. Which would be far less worrying if a little Robin Redbreast hadn't just landed on his older brother, and started making itself comfortable.
"What's wrong with me?" George wonders. "I might be small and insignificant to look at, but I'm supple and strong!"
The robin ignores George and hops onto another of his siblings - this time, his older sister. George's older sister has a beautiful green leaf growing out of her tip, and it fascinates the robin.
George sways in the wind and wishes he was bigger.
