With a great effort I opened my eyes wide and saw a little stem grow out of the ground, sprouting shoots and branches, and each branch sprouting more branches and leaves. Soon the little stalk began to rise and grow thicker, and lifting the armchair we were on, as it grew. The branches surrounded us as the stem turned into a trunk and climbed and climbed steeply, taking us with it.
