sapling

 There is a man looking intently at a slope at the side of the path. The slope is covered in brown fallen leaves, it is just a pattern of brown leaves with a few saplings sticking out. Say hello to the man, ask why he is so intent on the leaves. He replies that he is looking for a chestnut tree that he had planted a year ago. The man is wearing a black wide brimmed felt hat.

And he explains that he had found a sapling chestnut tree and had planted it there a year ago.

No sign of it now.
