Hello, my fellow adventurers!

My name is... uh, I don't have one.

But you can call me Leafy because I am a leaf.

I have so many things to tell you.

Like that one time, and also that one, oh yes! Don't forget that one.

I am so excited to tell you my stories.

My heart cannot stop pounding in my chest.

There are a lot of things, and I am so glad that you decided to join me.

I assumed no one would because I am just a pathetic leaf.

What to say next...oh, I would tell you all about my family and myself.


Mother tree is a giant sequoia.

tall, strong, and can withstand anything.

She towers beyond any skyscraper I've ever seen.

She gave birth to me, along with thousands of others.


We are so many that I can't even count them in one lifetime.

Every day, she would give birth to a thousand more.

I am pretty different than my siblings.

I'm not tall and slender like my siblings, nor am I as sharp and durable.

No, in fact, I look more like an ordinary leaf.

Such as those you see everywhere.

Green, flimsy, thin, and flat as a paper

It was never a big deal to me because my family never made fun of me for it.

In fact, my ordinary appearance sets me apart from my siblings and helps me stand out in our family.


Due to the weather, others would fall to the ground, as is common for us.

Others would even fall shortly after birth; those are the unlucky ones.

I feel sorry for them, and it makes me sad that my family is being separated from us.


Fortunately, my mother blessed me, despite the fact that she does not talk.

It's like feeling a surge of power and inspiration, as if love and magic

strengthening me to become something truly extraordinary.

It's amazing to be valued and respected for who you are and who you can be.


My role is to be home to the animals.

My mom produces food through photosynthesis.

Absorb light from the sun and use it to convert water and

carbon dioxide into glucose, which the plant can use for energy.

Thinking that our mother would not be able to survive without us

It makes me really proud of myself.

I feel even more positive knowing that because of us, our mom is being nourished.


Each day seems to pass in a mundane and uneventful manner, without any excitement or thrill.

The relationship with my siblings appears to be one-way as they are unable to communicate with me.
