The leaves are the most beautiful! Especially the autumn leaves!
Red, gold, orange...these leaves are all mine!
But! Why are all my leaves suddenly gone?
Who stole my leaves?
The leaves in autumn are the most beautiful, with red, gold, orange...
Huh! The little squirrel was startled. Why were his leaves missing?
The anxious little squirrel asked his good friend Brother Bird for help. Although Brother Bird felt that the little squirrel was confused, he still offered comfort: "No one will steal your leaves. It was the same last year. Have you forgotten?"
There are fewer and fewer leaves on the treetops, and the little squirrel is jumping around anxiously.
Is the end of the world coming? "It's over! It's over! Brother Bird? Brother Bird, where are you?"
Brother Bird couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take the little squirrel around to find the "suspected" leaf thief. Who stole the entire tree's leaves without anyone noticing?
