That would attract attention.
Beyond the road where the snakes sunned themselves was a dense young thicket, and through it a dim-lighted path led a quarter of a mile; then out of the dimness one emerged abruptly upon a level great prairie which was covered with wild strawberry-plants, vividly starred with prairie pinks, and walled in on all sides by forests.

The strawberries were fragrant and fine, and in the season we were generally there in the crisp freshness of the early morning, while the dew-beads still sparkled upon the grass and the woods were ringing with the first songs of the birds.
Down the forest slopes to the left were the swings.

They were made of bark stripped from hickory saplings.

When they became dry they were dangerous.

They usually broke when a child was forty feet in the air, and this was why so many bones had to be mended every year.
