Car stalled at 3:00 am, no one in sight. I could however feel a presence around me.

It's a combination of the wildfire theme (which is a part of the Nature Speaks Series) and my favorite tree (the pine tree). Spencer the Spark becomes a wildfire, but while destroying the forest, he manages to help Polly the Pinecone open up her scales to be able to disperse her seeds. And guess what? This is what ultimately regenerates the whole forest. So, not all wildfires are bad after all!
