    Fluffy, the red squirrel, felt a change in the air. The forest was transforming into a beautiful canvas of orange, red, and yellow.

    One day, while Fluffy was out for his usual acorn hunt, he noticed something unusual. One of his favorite acorn trees was bare.

    Fluffy was puzzled. He wondered why the tree had no acorns. He decided to investigate.

    As Fluffy sat pondering, he felt a gentle breeze. It was Whisper, the forest wind. Whisper knew everything that happened in the forest.

    Fluffy asked Whisper about the bare tree. Whisper told him that a group of birds had eaten all the acorns.

    Fluffy was sad. He loved those acorns. But then, Whisper whispered something else in his ear. There was another tree, full of acorns!
