Uncle Norm finds Alanna and Kevin in the Workshop, squinting through a magnifying glass at small maple trees. He wants to know when they can get sap: bean seeds can grow as high as the tool shed in one summer, so why not a baby tree? The Rads explain that we measure a bean's growth in weeks and months, and Uncle Norm's growth in years and decades, but trees grow more slowly: over decades, centuries, and sometimes even millennia. They visit a sugar bush to find out more.
