Theadult tells a story about two sad trees with no leaves: ‘It was a very windy night and inthe morning when it got light the trees were very sad because all their leaves were gone.Luckily the helpful leaf giant could come to the rescue.’ The child is the leaf giant, wholooks after the leaves and will give one to the tree if they ask. Sometimes the treesmake a mistake and say ‘leap’ instead of leaf. That means a naughty squirrel leaps fromone tree to the other, and the trees don’t like this.The adult (speaking for the trees) then says ‘leaf’ or ‘leap’. When the child hears ‘leaf’they can stick a leaf on a tree. If they hear ‘leap’ they make the squirrel leap and the‘tree’ complains.82
