Fall Fell: A Tale in Pictures

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Oliver. Oliver was a happy boy, but sadly, Oliver lived in a land where there were no seasons. Where he lived there was no welcomed cooling crispness of fall, no silent fall of the first snow of winter and no happiness of a single spring flower breaking through the quiet slumber of winter. Oliver lived in a place where all the months ran together in a never ending parade of sweat stained shirts and frizzy hair. Oliver lived in Texas

But Oliver didn't know all this yet, he was young enough to have hope. He read in a book once that during "Fall" the weather would turn cold and leaves would fall from the trees. He looked forward to this so called "Fall."

One day, while driving around, saying how do you do to all he met, something went terribly wrong. His tractor simply sputtered and died!!!










He reluctantly climbed out of the seat, and grabbed his tools to see what could possibly be the matter. After a long look at the engine, he noticed a clump of brown leaves caught in the engine. How odd! Usually the only time leaves were brown was when it hadn't rained for a while, or as they called it in Texas, "Summer" But it wasn't Summer, it was December! Hmmm, perplexing!



He was pausing to wonder about this leave problem when he looked up at the tree above. All of the leaves were brown! And as he looked, a mighty wind shook the tree and he was buried in a pile of dead, brown leaves.

It was scary.

After he finished screaming, he decided to pick himself up, brush himself off and get to work. The leaves were an eyesore, and the HOA would not allow him to keep his yard looking such a fright.










And thus ended Oliver's first Fall. It may be 80 degrees in Texas, but at least you have to rake!

The End.
