Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 17, 1985
Transcript:
Snoopy and Woodstock back each other, looking off in opposite directions. The latter chirps a question. Snoopy points off in front of himself and thinks,"No, over here..."<BR><BR> They walk off. They come to a tree stump and Snoopy thinks,"This was the one..."<BR><BR> He continues,"This is the tree where you were born..I remember how tall it was..."<BR><BR> He spreads his hands and smiles as Woodstock stands atop the stump. Snoopy thinks,"And I remember how green it used to be in the summer, and then in the fall it changed to the most beautiful colors..."<BR><BR> Snoopy sits on the ground and continues,"And there was one particular branch...it had a wonderful curve to it, and the birds used to love to sit on it, and sing..."<BR><BR> Woodstock stands on the ground next to Snoopy, and gazes at the stump lovingly. Snoopy thinks,"It may be gone now, but at least you have those memories...you know that you were born and raised in a very special tree..."<BR><BR> As they walk off, Snoopy concludes,"Actually, I don't remember it at all...I can't tell one tree from another!"<BR><BR>

It’s an interesting story Snoopy tells for Woodstock, given that Woodstock hatched in a nest on Snoopy’s stomach in March of ’66.
