The flowers and leaves and corn of summer are all gone They have died and gone back to the earth All over North America people are celebrating 4
In places like Mexico City Los Angeles and New York they are very busy They are getting ready for El Dia de los Muertos the Day of the Dead They are celebrating death 5
Does that sound strange to you It is not strange to the Mexican people the Cajun people and others who celebrate death They know that death brings new life The flower seeds will sprout new flowers The cornhusks will make the earth rich for new corn When spring comes new life will sprout up everywhere 6
