II wonder where will be the best
place to find one?" he asked him
self. There was no one else of whom
he could ask just then. And to make
things come out even Mr.. Longears
answered himself.
II shall go to the woods to look for
an adventure" he said.
Away he hoped and soon he
reached the woods. Most of the
leaves had fallen from the trees.

oak trees, for some oaks keep their
leaves far into Winter
