Story 8. Fall.
Fall comes in slowly.
Leaves start changing colour, and soon after, they fall off.
Can we rake the leaves yet, Dad? asked Sarah.
Not until they are all down, said Dad.
Sarah looked up at the branches of the tree.
There were a bunch of leaves left.
Sarah grabbed the trunk of the tree.
She tried to shake it, but that didn't make any leaves fall.
Sarah waited in her tree fort.
She peeked out of the window to see if the leaves had fallen yet.
They hadn't.
Sarah jumped up and down in her tree fort.
The tree shook.
A few leaves fell, but most of them were still on the tree.
Sarah was cold.
The wind was getting stronger.
She gave up waiting for the leaves to fall.
She climbed down from her tree fort.
A great gust of wind blew.
Just then, the leaves on the tree swirled to the ground.
Yay! yelled Sarah.
She started raking the leaves into a pile.
Dad helped her make the pile huge.
One, two, three! yelled Sarah.
Sarah and Dad jumped into the pile of leaves together.
