adventures of leaf willie

continuation of the leaf. he saw snow. So, the magpie carefully secured our leaf on the edge of its nest. Then she flew off again about her business. Willie was left alone. Since he was very curious, he looked into her nest. There he saw many different things unfamiliar to him. The leaf was surprised and thought: “Why does the magpie collect these things? I’ll have to ask her about this.” Then Willie noticed that a flock of pigeons had landed not far from the nest. They began to talk among themselves about bread crumbs. Many sparrows flew after them. They chirped loudly. Among them was one sad sparrow. He was very thoughtful and silent. Then he walked away from his friends and began to think about something. Leaf noticed this and decided to talk to him. Willie asked him politely: “Sparrow, what happened? Why are you so sad? Has anyone offended you?” He replied: “I really miss my old friend leaf. His name is Willie. On that windy day I flew to the maple tree. I see that the leaf is not there. Then I realized that the wind had torn it off and carried it very far away. That’s why I’m sad.” When he finished his story, the leaf was very happy. He exclaimed: “So it’s you, little sparrow? Very, very glad to see you!” Willie began to tell him his journey in great detail. Then the sparrow also began to tell him about himself. Later the sparrow became hungry. He said to the leaf: "I am really hungry. I'll fly to the city now. I'll look for something to eat. I’ll fly to you in the evening.” They said goodbye and the sparrow flew away. A few minutes later a magpie flew in. She was holding some shiny thing in her beak. Having placed it in the nest, she was about to fly away again. But the leaf asked her in time: “Why do you collect these strange things?” She answered him: “I really love shiny things. That’s why I collect them.” For some reason Willie was confused and remained silent. The magpie flew away. Evening came. It began to rain heavily. All the birds took refuge in dry places. People ran to their homes. One leaf remained wet on the edge of the nest. But he was glad of the rain, since he was covered with dust. Drops fell on him. Late at night the rain stopped falling. The tired leaf quietly fell asleep. The next day Willie woke up. He looked around and saw that everything was wet and dirty. Water was dripping from the roof. The sun suddenly appeared in the sky and began to warm everything around. The leaf felt the warm rays. He felt good and warm. Later a magpie arrived. She saw that her nest was a little wet. She was horrified and began to sort through her things. When she was finally convinced that all her things were dry, she calmed down very much. 3 days have passed. Our leaf became very bored. After all, he was attached to the nest. The magpie was very tired of the leaf. She was about to take him back to the park, but suddenly she remembered that there were several very important things left to do and she urgently flew away. Willie really wanted to travel around the world again. But he remembered the sparrow and decided to postpone his journey a little. Autumn has passed. The first days of winter have arrived. It got too cold. The rivers and lakes have long since frozen. The sparrows and pigeons were very cold. They took refuge in warm hollows in parks and forests. Wild animals fell into a long hibernation. The bears slept and licked their paws in their sleep. People poured a lot of crumbs from rolls and bread into feeders for the city birds. The birds still really wanted to eat. They even more plaintively asked people for food. People felt very sorry for them. So, our leaf also became very cold. But he bravely endured this cold. The sparrow began to fly to him again. They talked about different things every day. The day came when it snowed for the first time. He was very white, fluffy and cold. Our leaf was very surprised. He asked the magpie, who was busy again in his nest: “Why are these strange feathers falling from the sky?” The magpie began to explain to him in detail about the snow. Willie listened to her carefully and remembered everything. When the snow began to slowly fall on him, Willie felt that he was cold. Night came again. Everyone fell asleep, only the leaf didn’t want to sleep yet. He looked at the sky. Snow continued to fall slowly from there. Later the leaf fell asleep.
