Description: After the last leaf fell from the tree, these fallen leaves initiated a party while a baby bird was watching nearby. At the party, leaves were transformed into birds having a great time and therefore intrigued the bird. Bewildered, the bird went to get its father to come over. However, by the time the father bird arrived, the party was terminated due to wind and leaves were back to their dormant form. The baby bird lingered on and eventually turned into a leave itself.
