#281: Canadian Questions

Here's the Canadian maple tree we've got at Camp Cornelius. Notice how the top half of the tree is leafless and the bottom full. While I was walking into the Library a question arose in my mind...since it's a Canadian maple, if I drop a hockey puck at the bottom of the tree, will all the remaining leaves suddenly all drop down in a frenzy to get to the puck?!!
Will they be elbowing each other in the corner? Do Maple leaves have elbows, considering "the leaves of the trees will clap their hands?!!" When something proves funny to the tree, does it give off Maple laughs instead of leaves? Remember, you Lord of the Rings fans, it was the elves that got the trees talking to each other, Eh?!
Got Baruurum?
