The nightingale has returned from distant Africa and is looking for a spot to build its nest. And there are so many trees and bushes in the garden! Which of them would make a good home for a bird? Maybe a sour cherry, a sweet cherry or a cherry plum tree? Maybe a plum or a pear tree? Each tree tells its story to the nightingale, describing its own special traits. The stories of the trees also paint an image of an old gardener, clever and kind, who treated trees as living creatures, talked to them and cherished them, and of his family, still living in the nearby house, who honors the trees and collects their fruit.
