"What is busy happening?" everyone whispered to one another. "This is what happens when it is autumn," Daniel told them. "It is time for the leaves to move their homes. Some people call it dying."

"I am not going to die," Freddy said, full of determination. "Are you going to die, Daniel?" "Yes," answered Daniel. "When it is my time." "When will that be?" Freddy asked. "Nobody knows for certain," Daniel answered.
