• In the story The Stranger it was the time of the year it was fall there was a cool a breeze. He was driving his truck he heard a loud thump. He said I hit a deer then he got out to see it was not a deer it was a man.

• In the story The Stranger Mr. bailey drove the Stranger home Mr. Bailey told him to sit in the sofa. Mr. Bailey thought he was a hermit. He did not understand the questions. He does not know how to talk. Next he called the doctor said he had lost his memory in some full days he will remember were he came from. Then the doctor was getting ready to leave.

• Mr. Bailey let the Stranger use some of his clean clothes the stranger was confused about the buttonholes and buttons. It was time for dinner they had soup for dinner it was hot he blow it was cold! Miss. Bailey said there is a draft in here tonight.

• The next morning the stranger went outside there were some bunnies out there the bunnies ran to him instead of walking away they ran toward him and the bunnies were waiting for the stranger to go with the bunnies.

• It was almost night he was outside it was a perfect V formation flew south. Two weeks passed and the stranger still did not remember who he was and were he was from he seems to be happy around the Baileys family.

• Another week passed. Farmer Bailey could not help the peculiar not long ago it seemed like if autumn was around the corner but it still feels like summer as if the seasons could not change .

• It was the next morning in the south all the trees were orange, red, yellow but in Mr. baileys house all the trees were green. Then the stranger graved a leave and when he touched the leave the color of the leave changed and he knew he had something to do with he mother nature.
