But by and by the wind grew tired of carrying the little Glory, so it dropped it, and when the Morning-glory looked around it found it was in the midst of big tall trees and rocks and briers.
Vainly it tried to crawl along to a tree where it could twine itself around and climb, but it was too small, and then the rain came and made it cold and wet, and even the fickle wind did not come to it again.
Then the cold days came and the poor little Glory grew faded and had to crawl under the dead leaves for protection.

After a while it grew near to a bush and put its weak little vine around it, hoping to get off the ground.
"What do you mean by trying to cling to me?" said the bush. "I have all I can do to take care of myself."
