Patches and Leif” presents the story of Patches who is very dedicated to his job. Day after day he stands in the corn field, keeping watch over the corn. Then one day, a new friend surprised Patches who comes floating out of the sky! Leif is an adventurous travelling leaf. Instead of floating safely to the ground with his family and friends when he was dragged off the branch on which he was raised one windy day, he took advantage of the chance and sailed away to explore the world on the wind.

He tells Patches about his experiences, the first of which is his discovery of a school where he observes students learning the alphabet, counting, and a little bit about animals and plants. He teaches Patches what he discovered before sailing away on new adventures, but he pledges to return and teach the scarecrow what he has learned.
