The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Rewards and Fairies by Rudyard Kipling: 'One doesn't want to sleep in the woods,' said Una.
'Then what's the good of 'em?' said Mr Dudeney. 'Might as

The Downs, that looked so bare and hot when they came, were
full of delicious little shadow-dimples; the smell of the thyme and
the salt mixed together on the south-west drift from the still sea;
their eyes dazzled with the low sun, and the long grass under it
looked golden. The sheep knew where their fold was, so Young
Jim came back to his master, and they all four strolled home, the
scabious-heads swishing about their ankles, and their shadows
streaking behind them like the shadows of giants.
