Oak and Elm Leaves Selfless Act

Well-wishers in the form of oak leaves dribbled down trunks. They landed in a pile of happy sentiments and sweet thoughts The brownies and faeries of the forest felt their generosity They had sacrificed themselves to help bring winter forward. Like kamikaze pilots, they leapt to their death, to entice Jack Frost A selfless act, unappreciated by many, but the woods understood. Twinkle faeries, make a wish quickly, the oaks and elms suggested. Well-wishers winked and blinked, giving wishes as fast as they could.
