OCTOBER 25: Autumn Leaves
“Ah,” said the autumn leaves, “now is the time of the year for our great and wonderful party.”
“Are you going to have one soon?” asked Mr. Wind.
“We hope to have one very, very soon,” said the leaves as they blew about.
“The reason I asked,” said Mr. Wind, “was because I did not want to have any other engagement on the day that you give your party. It would be the sort of a party I would enjoy and I trust you will invite me.”
“Well,” laughed the leaves, “we couldn’t very well have the sort of a party we want without you. We want your help in the races and jumps and scampers. We need you to say, ‘Ready, Set, Go.’ We could never go without you, Mr. Wind. And so we talked about this party right before you, hoping you would show a great interest.”
And Mr. Wind came to the party and helped to make it a huge success.
