The Leaf Keepers

Gazing out the window, Silvie pictured herself hopping around the treetops, the autumn breeze dancing through her hair. Everyone would watch in wonder as she changed each leaf with the tap of her branch wand. Here, a deep red! There, a fiery orange! The other Leaf Keepers clapped and cheered her name . . .

‘Silvie,’ called Ms Willow. ‘Silvie!’ The Leaf Keeping teacher was clapping her hands to get Silvie’s attention.

Silvie realised she was still in class at Leaf Keeping School. The other students stared at her, and Webster, the classroom’s spider, had even stopped spinning notes on his web.

Did I drift off again? she thought, as Ms Willow continued to explain the Autumn Colour spell. Silvie could never seem to focus, even though she knew how important Leaf Keeping was! After all, Leaf Keepers were grateful to have been chosen for this duty. Spreading beautiful colours was far better than being an Earthworm Tender or a Mud Maker.
