Strangely this is not a forest at all but rather a wide-open meadow. There is nothing left of the Piddle Pine Forest -- no trees, no stumps, nothing. The Paddle Whackers, Smack, Whack and Zacharia, chopped down every tall Piddle Pine that stood and used the wood to craft three magnificent dams across the River Why which backed the water up and formed Mirror Lake.
As they began chopping down the Piddle Pine Forest, the dams got bigger and bigger as they swelled with harvested Piddle-Pines that were stacked on top to be used later. Eventually, the logs were milled, sawed, sanded, hammered and glued into clever things that pleased the Paddle Whacker eye. They built super cross-beam, double-sawed, laminated, buff-sanded Piddle-Pine doors. They had cross-grained, hand-oiled, twin-hasped, double-doweled bevel-boarded Piddle-Pine cupboards. Everything in these dams was made of Piddle-Pine, and some things that weren't looked like the should have been, and if you looked close enough they probably were.
Now, where the great forest once stood, the Paddle Whackers have dutifully planted seedlings that will someday become a forest again.
