I used to believe that for every crunchy leaf on the ground during fall, that if I stepped on them - each one would become a person. I think it has to do with a story I read in the 2nd grade about an old man that was always sitting on a bench with a green coat on, then one day he was gone and there was a tree where the bench had been.
A childhood belief about plants
