Leaves

I am ill with the chicken-pox, so I can't go outside today. I don't feel bad, nor do the spots itch too much. But still.

So that I still have some autumn, mama brings me some autumn leaves from our plane-tree. They are huge. We have learnt a leave song with music lessons: 'beautiful leaves, red and yellow, beautiful leaves, they are so many!' While you sing it, you have leaves on your hand, at the end you blow with your mouth, so that the leaves fly away. The lady says this exercises the breathing and strengthens the mouth muscles. Us kids just find it fun to collect the leaves.
