Fall

EVE: Oh, I remember this kind of day so well... It is Fall. 

ADAM: How do you know that word? 

EVE: How do I know that if I go out, the air will be sharp and clear? Why 
do I remember that sometimes the trees have no leaves at all and at other 
times the leaves are green? 

ADAM: You shouldn't know all that... 

EVE: I don't even remember how I know the word Fall. Is it really the
right 
phrase for this time of year? 

ADAM: Yes, I've heard it before. Yes, it confused me too. Strange -- they 
just named the season for the fact that the leaves fall from the trees. 
That doesn't seem possible. They certainly would have chosen a more 
complicated name than that. You know, if Professor Stokes were called on
to 
name this time, he certainly wouldn't have called it Fall. 




Happy Autumn, everyone!
