High and Lifted Up(下)

The old leaf didn't follow.

He was blown further

down the block and suddenly

lifted up high into the air.

"Hey," he called out, "the sights

up here.

They are spectacular.

Come and see."

Tommy and the maple

leaf ignored him.

"I see something.

I see the dump."

The old leaf cried out.

"I see smoke.

Come up here. I see fire."

"I see nothing," the

maple leaf said.

Tommy saw the fence

that surrounded

the city dump. He was

happy to be with

his friend. They would have

fun in the dump.

Suddenly, a car pulled up.

It was Tommy's mom.

Mrs. Pennington wasn't

about to let her

little boy run into the

city dump.

"Not so fast," she said getting

out of the car.

"You are not allowed

to play in there.

Don't you see the smoke?"

Tommy watched the

maple leaf blow

against the wall and struggle

to get over.

He ran over to get it but was

unable to reach it.

Mrs. Pennington walked over

and took the leaf.

She put it in her pocket.

"There," she said, "it will be

safe until we get home."

Tommy smiled, ran to the car and got in.

He rolled down the back window and looked

up into the sky. He wondered where the old

leaf had gone. Perhaps one day he would

see what the old leaf had seen - perhaps.
