tree was a nice proper tree Just like
all other trees.
Then something happened Some
thing usually does you know when
things are entirely too nice and proper.
One day. when the poplar leaves
were playing with the breezes. one little
breeze said, "Oh, you should sec the
trees IN other countries as We do.
Sometimes the leaves are gray, some
times pale green and some are brighter
colors."
Wouldn't that be queer?" said one
4 think I'd ike it." said another.
I'm tired OF being plain green like all
other leaves"
And though the breeze laughed at
them. they wouldn't play because they
kept thinking all the time about their
color
And the more they thought. the worse
il seemed 20 be green, Just plain green,
all their lives.
Isn't it horrid TO be just a plain
green Leaf" said one, I'm 50 tired of
being green" said another, till finally
they forgot that the sky was blue and
the sun goldcn-ail they could re-
member was their common green color.
At last the fairies who lived IN the
tree Rtl IlIeN OF LltlI GOlli piallliilS dll1
the fairy queen said: IF you really
wish 10 change your color you may
do 50. but Temember-you can never
change back to the beautiful green color
you now are"
The leaves all laughed and declared
they never. never, never wanted TO be
green again 50 the fairy painters set
to work with their magic paint and
soon the leaves were grayish green on
top and silver underneath
Wien all was done and the paints
put away the leaves shook
themselves dry and began to look
around.
Aren't we beautiful they exclaimed
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-09-30
HHd though the breeze laughed a.
them, they zcoKidE'f pLGy.

"Oh no." said the leaves loftily, Eve
don't care 10 play with you any more.
We like 10 have You come and see us.
for you turn and twist us so we can
see all our pretty colors. but we
couldn't just common play any more,
we are tC0 fine for that,'
So the breezes came and stayed i
little while and swayed and twisted
the leaves so that the silver Innings
glistened in the sunshine-then they
went and played and frolicked in the
oaks and NAPLES with the leaves who
were not so dressed up.
And ever since then, the poplar leaves
have been green and silver but the
leaves are so stiff and vain that the
fairies and breezes play in the old
green trees.
