Why the Leaves Fall

    In the summer, all of the ground plants and grass were happy and warm. As winter approached, though, the plants realized that it was very cold.

   The grass and flowers were not feeling well at all - they had no protection from the cold. Just as it seemed that there would be no hope for surviving the winter, He who looks after the things of His Creation came to the rescue.

   He saw that the grass and flowers were dying from the cold. He decided that the tree's leaves should provide a blanket for them. He who looks after the things of his Creation felt sorry for the trees because they had to surrender their leaves, so in late fall, before the winter came, he made the leaves of all the trees beautiful red, orange, golden, and bronze colors to repay them for their services.
