Little Acorn


Little Acorn



Acorn was playing in the soft green grass when something bumped her head. Looking up, Acorn noticed that there were leaves falling from every tree.  Red, orange, yellow and green leaves gently fell.  While she watched, another bonked her nose.  Acorn felt afraid.  “The leaves are falling! The leaves are falling,” She screamed, as she ran home.



Mother Squirrel sat on the porch, sipping tea.  “Mother, Mother, the leaves are falling.” Acorn yelled, flying up the steps.



“Yes, I know it's Autumn.” Mother said, blowing at her brew. “Go play. Soon the weather will turn cold.”



Acorn skipped back down the path.  As she stepped off onto the grass, she heard an unusual sound. 



Crunch



Crunch.



“What is that sound?” There was only one explanation, “The ground is breaking, the ground is breaking!” Acorn screamed, running back towards home. Mom was still sipping her tea.



“The ground is breaking! The ground is breaking!” Acorn yelled.



"What's wrong?" Mama asked.

"When I step on the grass, it crunches! The ground is breaking!"

"No, that’s what happens in fall..."

"Fall?"

"Yes, the autumn season is called fall..."

Little Acorn ran and screamed, “The season is falling, the season is falling!"

  1. Ha ha!! Very cute take on the Chicken Little theme. At first I thought Acorn was an actual acorn, but then I realized he was a squirrel with a cute name! Good luck with the contest.
