The Dancing Leaves

Ella was a little girl who loved nature. In her backyard, there were big, tall trees with green leaves. Every day after school, she played under the trees. She smiled as the leaves danced in the breeze. They whispered secrets that only she could hear.

Ella did not understand. "Why change?" she wondered. The leaves said, "Change is beautiful. It makes us special! Just like how flowers bloom and stars shine!" Ella listened closely, her sadness began to fade away.

As autumn came, Ella watched the leaves fall softly to the ground. "You’re leaving me!" she cried. But the leaves said, "We will come back. We must rest now for winter, but we promise to return in spring!"

One breezy afternoon, Ella and her friends jumped into piles of leaves. They threw leaves in the air, laughing and twirling. The leaves danced with them, filling the air with joy and cheer.

As the first snow gently covered the ground, Ella waved goodbye to her leaf friends. She promised to keep their memories close. The trees stood tall, waiting for sunny days to bring the leaves back.
