Osaka and Yomi were walking along a path lined with sakura. The tree branches were thick with beautiful blossoms.
"Say, Yomi?" said Osaka. "Didja ever think about how leaves fall to the ground in the season called 'fall'?"
"Huh," said Yomi. "That's right."
"But," Osaka said, "cherry blossoms fall to the ground in the season called 'spring'."
"So?" Yomi asked.
"Either this season isn't named right," Osaka said, "or else these cherry blossoms should be springing."
Osaka picked up a cherry blossom, and threw it at the ground, expecting it to bounce like a ball.
"My brain hurts," Yomi said.
