Bough

Bough - a large branch of a tree

A bough bent under its own weight and its point almost touched the ground. Leaves, hanging down from the branch, separated a small space right beneath the bought. It was one step wide and three steps long: big enough that Jurel can comfortably sit his back against an ancient trunk of a tree and legs stretched in relaxation.

A saw squealed and screamed while its teeth chewed into the flesh of a bough. Tree's sap dripped from a split which became deeper with every pass of a blade of the saw. A man stopped, put the saw aside, and kicked the branch higher than the cut – with a wet crack the bough snapped and slowly collapsed under its weight; after hanging a second on a thin shred of bark, it came down followed by a rustle of leaves.
