Singing Tree
This is when Salamanca is sitting underneath the Tall Aspen tree, and a bird is in the tree singing a true birdsong, but you could never actually see the bird, so her mother called it the singing tree. Once her mother had left, the delightful singing in the tree had stopped." When I was younger, I heard the most beautiful birdsong coming from the top of that tree."(pg.99) This is another part from the information above when she is beneath the tree.
