"Beautiful, aren't they? They have bloomed unusually early this year." "It's great we can appreciate blossoms in this park near by. So convenient!" "But why do they fall in a short time, I wonder?"

"Would you look at that. The whole trees makes us happy! " "Oh, Hi, Shelly. Let's run together." "Come on, Shelly. Come on."

　　　

Out of the blue! Came a dark sky and a gust of wind.　 Pink snowstorm of Cherry-Blossom petals! No, no, no. No hurry falling!

"Looks like most petals have come off. Some of them fell on us. Good-bye, Cherry Blossoms. Good-bye!"
