Short story or page filler.Think was called... Falling Leaves was sad story. Remember the ending was 2 leaves hanging on. Being the last ones left on tree..

Thank you for trying, but thats not it. Its about the thoughts that pass in the leaves mind. Believe Reader's Digest would have been from the mid 80's, aug-december. Feel like more likely october.

Maybe "Ole and Trufa" by Isaac Bashevis Singer?

[Kris]

Link for David's suggestion - it seems that "Ole and Trufa" by Isaac Bashevis Singer appears in Stories for Children (and possibly other books?) based on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Childre...).

Christina, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

The Fall of Freddie the Leaf kind of matches, but I don't know if it would have been in Reader's Digest.
