The narrator of Coronet's "Exercise and Health" is back to tell us pine trees have cones and birds build nests in trees. We're also shown the types of leaves, buds and bark that vary from tree to tree. There's footage of a kid eating cherries off a tree. He's lucky the birds (as seen in the scene just before him) didn't get them all. These used to in our back yard. The script is a straight-forward tale looking at trees from spring to winter and to spring again.It ends with the narrator giving the title of the film.
