What Happens When Clouds Make Tear Drops
Down below on the forest floor an elephant called up and said
“I heard that. Yes he can make you drop and I will give him a little help. I am hungry
You see and need food for me and the tree has some very nice apples. So I will bump
The tree and he will feed me and the drop will roll off the leaf.”
So he bumped the tree once. A mighty big bump the leaf gave amighty big shiver. Well
That is all it took to feed the elephant well, but the drop stayed on the leaf
Because he was so small
Though he did roll another 1/3 of the way down the leaf
Now the leaf was a fair sized leaf and oval in his leafiness shape and his down side came
To a point. Now the point of this leaf was to point the way for the tiny drop to roll roll
Roll an drop to the forest floor. And feed the tree at his drip line. This is how trees
Feed their roots, but since it was so dry the tiny drop only rolled so far and left a little of
Himself on the trail down the leaf. He then became smaller, even smaller then before.
The leaf said, "That felt good." Now said the leaf only a little way more to go you’re
2/3 of the way down to the forest floor and now you can roll some more.
“No,” said the drop, “Now I am way to small to roll some more and here is where I will
Stop.”
Then the forest floor said, “ I heard that and I will help the leaf so you can roll yourself
