Early Spring, Winter just ended. Oakie is a young tree and just lost all of his leaves.

Mouse, am I small? All the other trees are big and tall. I feel so tiny next to them.

No Oakie, you are not small. Look at me, I am small but that's what makes me special.

Sheep, do I look funny? I have no leaves and my branches look bare.

No Oakie, you do not look funny. I have all this fur, it's so curly and warm. I have to be shaved often. This makes me unique.

Late Summer, Oakie grew his leaves back. Fall is approaching.
