I saw the city of the birds and people were very happy. My heart rejoiced for them. But then I saw the trees move. Back trees I said but they did not go back. They moved and moved. Now the people are no longer happy. There is weeping and crying. People are afraid. This is a horrible vision but it goes on. The people are starving but the whirly birds come and drop food. Never have I seen such birds. Now one drops something. It looks like it will lift people out of the city. I rejoice for they are saved. But wait a vine shoots out and the whirly bird crashes to the ground. They are not saved. I can not stand the vision. Be gone evil forest be gone. But it does not go. But I see a light. There is a big tree with a hole. There is a box. A voice says " Open the box and the trees will go away" A man comes and reaches for the box but he falls to the ground and is dragged away. A voice says only "one who is pure of heart may open the box". People are crying. The preacher comes. They drag her away. I can take no more. Be gone O evil vision. Be gone. The prophet awakens.
