Description

The house has an expressive face of windows and doors, and even the feelings of a person, so she’s sad when she’s surrounded by the dirty, noisy city’s hustle and bustle: “She missed the field of daisies / and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight.”

Fortunately, there’s a happy ending, as the house is taken back to the country where she belongs. A classic!
