A

leaf                            so

quietly             falls in the

middle of the     night that no

person hears the swish as it

falls to the ground. "Swish!"

The leaf whispers to the moon.

Only the moon hears the leaf say her

final good-by.  Hears the leaf make her so

silent cry. "Good-by to you warm

days and     nights. Farewell moon!

  Farewell to all!

    Fall has arrived.

          I          must go!"
