Summary:
Forest scene with a young boy and girl playing on a makeshift seesaw made with a board resting over a fallen log, the boy seated almost on the ground, and the girl on the end that's up in the air. On the ground beneath the girl is an overturned mug of berries, and on the ground beside the boy are school books, a slate, and a lunch pail.
