In a sunny little forest, there lived a grumpy old tree named Mr. Barkley. "I can't believe it's Monday again! Ugh! Why do the birds always tweet so loud?!"

*TWEET TWEET TWEET!*

One bright afternoon, Mr. Barkley grumbled, "Why do the leaves have to change color? I liked being green!"

*WHOOSH!* (as a gust of wind blows off some leaves)

When summer came, Mr. Barkley complained, "Ugh! All these pesky picnic people! Why can’t they picnic somewhere else?!"
5
*CRUNCH! CRUNCH!*

As winter rolled in, Mr. Barkley sighed, "Snow again? Do I look like a snowman to you?!"
7
*FLUMP!* (as snow piles onto his branches)

But then came spring, and a little bud spoke up, "Mr. Barkley, do you know what makes you grumpy? You need to lighten up!" *BOING!*

Mr. Barkley paused and chuckled, "Maybe I just need to branch out a little!" *HA-HA-HA!*
