Ages ago there were large pine forests in the northern part of Germany. Amber is the hardened gum of a pine tree. After a storm great quantities are found in the seaweed that has been washed on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea. Insects and pieces of the cones are sometimes found in the amber.

We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two parts; we are all one flesh and blood.”

Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,

And fired the shot heard round the world.
