In a thick forest in India, there live all kinds of small animals and countless trees. The trees here are tall and lush, and every leaf is like an elf bestowed by nature. There is a little leaf that especially loves to dance. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines down and the gentle breeze blows gently, this little leaf begins to dance merrily. Its dancing posture is light and graceful, as if it is telling the joy in its heart to the whole forest. The small animals around, seeing the little leaf dancing, all gather around. The little squirrel sits on the branch, looking with bright eyes; the little bird also stops flying and lands on a nearby branch, tilting its head to admire.
The little leaf dances more and more vigorously. Its dance stirs the surrounding air, forming small vortices one after another. A little butterfly is attracted and it dances gracefully around the little leaf, as if having a special dance competition with the little leaf. The little leaf rotates and sways from time to time, and the little butterfly is not to be outdone either, flapping its wings to make all kinds of beautiful movements. The little rabbit also jumps out of the grass, and it jumps merrily following the rhythm of the music (the rustling sound of the gentle breeze blowing through the leaves is like music). The dance of the little leaf seems to have a magical power, filling the whole forest with a happy atmosphere.
Night falls, and the moonlight shines in the forest. The little leaf doesn't stop dancing because of the arrival of the night, but instead dances even more vigorously. The moonlight is like its spotlight, and it shows its dancing posture heartily under the moonlight. The fireflies around are also attracted. They flicker with little glimmers and fly around the little leaf. The little leaf is like conducting a grand dance party, and each of its movements matches perfectly with the flickering of the fireflies. The small animals don't leave because of the night. They watch this wonderful night dance quietly on the grass or on the branches nearby, with their eyes full of amazement and joy.
Gradually, the dance of the little leaf infects the whole forest. The surrounding big trees also begin to sway their branches gently, as if beating the rhythm. Other leaves also start to dance along with this little leaf, and the whole forest becomes a huge dance floor. The small animals can no longer hold back their excitement, and they all join this grand dance one after another. The little monkey jumps around among the branches, the little deer runs merrily in circles in the open space, and even the usually shy little hedgehog twists its body in the grass. The whole forest is full of laughter and joy, and everyone is immersed in this happy atmosphere.
Finally, when the sky in the east begins to turn white like a fish's belly, the little leaf is finally tired from dancing. It stops dancing and stays quietly on the branch. A crystal - clear dewdrop falls on it, like a reward from nature. The little leaf looks at the slowly - calming - down forest around with a satisfied expression. The small animals also all go back to their homes or resting places. Although the dance is over, the joy brought by the little leaf will always remain in the hearts of every small animal, and this forest has also become more full of vitality and energy because of this special dance.
