So they decided to split for the New Forest.

Actually, to be
historically accurate, they had already split once to another forest
called Holland, a crazy kind of place where the trees wore wooden shoes
which the Pilgrims thought was just too weird.  Worse yet, in Holland,
they had too much freedom to exercise and some of them were just plum
tuckered out.

So split they wood, yet again, for a forest far
across the ocean called America. That decided, they went shopping for a
big boat from a used boat salesman called Sir Woody. The whole
negotiation was pretty iffy until Woody made up a cute name for the boat
and told the Pilgrims it was called the Mayflower.

The Pilgrims really liked that, so they sealed the deal, hopped aboard and set sail for the New Forest across the ocean.

Their
voyage was long and they sailed through many storms, the trees swaying
back and forth in the breeze to keep their balance.  After many months,
as they neared the shores of the New American Forest, another storm came
up.  As the wind howled through the mast trees, the sky became very
dark, so dark in fact that the Captain couldn’t see where he was going
and they crashed into a big rock.  Fortunately, their used boat didn’t
sink, and as the storm passed, the sky lightened so they could see where
they were.

To their amazement, the big rock they’d crashed into
had a 1959 Plymouth with big tail fins parked on it.  Now, they had been
told about this back in the old forest, but many had dismissed it as
urban legend. One of the teenage trees shouted, “Hey, that Plymouth
rocks” and from that time forward, the place was known as Plymouth Rock.

Such is how history is made.

Anyhow,
here was undeniable proof that they had arrived at the American Forest
so the Pilgrim Trees were thankful. And this was not to be the last time
they were to be thankful, as we are about to see.

So they all
hopped off the boat, waded ashore and built a bunch of houses, because
they knew winter would soon be upon them. Everything seemed okay until
they realized they were hungry and didn’t have any food.
