Hi, detectives! It’s me, Pip. Open your workbook to page 1. Let’s read my story together!

00:00:09.316 --> 00:00:17.304
Tap-tap-tap! One windy autumn morning, Pip Fox opened his door. On the step sat a little golden leaf.

3
00:00:17.624 --> 00:00:24.961
“I’ve lost my tree,” she sniffled. “The wind twirled me so fast that I cannot remember where I belong.”

4
00:00:25.161 --> 00:00:27.623
“Then I will help you find your home,”

5
00:00:27.823 --> 00:00:38.132
said Pip. He carried her gently to the silver birch, but its tiny leaves were not the same. Next, Pip asked the old oak, but its leaves had soft, wavy bumps.

6
00:00:38.452 --> 00:00:52.570
The little leaf drooped. “Perhaps no tree is mine.” Just then, five red leaves danced past like stars. Her five pointed tips began to tingle. Her branching veins hummed a familiar song.

7
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.303
“Follow them!”

8
00:00:54.503 --> 00:00:55.385
cried Pip.

9
00:00:55.705 --> 00:01:12.655
At the top of the hill stood a maple glowing red and gold. “My little leaf!” rustled the tree. The wind lifted her into one last joyful dance before laying her gently among the maple’s roots. From that day on, Pip was known as a leaf detective.

10
00:01:13.855 --> 00:01:16.224
What clues helped Pip find the leaf’s tree?

11
00:01:16.574 --> 00:01:18.292
Pause the video and think!

00:01:29.306 --> 00:01:31.767
Her five pointed tips and branching veins.

14
00:01:32.967 --> 00:01:38.725
Leaf shape and veins are great clues. Remember them. We’ll use them again!
