In certain seasons of the year, we see very many leaves lying

on the lawns and the roads. This shows that the leaves of

They are able to perform their function well. When they
become old, the plants shed them off. New leaves then grow
up to their places. The old leaves keep on getting shed and
new leaves keep comming in their pace.
