The Return


A cool breeze blows from the north; birds chirp in the oak tree; three children run pell - mell outside the family home, laughing and playing. A wife calls to her busy husband to come and get some lemonade. He drops his work and bounds up the deck stairs. A squirrel pops its head out if a hole in the oak tree and skips from branch to branch.

A pair of sweet hearts sit under a shady tree in the park, watching the dogs and their owners walk by. As they sit there, the young man leans over and whispers in the young woman's ear. Agreeing out loud the woman says, "Yes, my dear. Spring has returned."
