The second parameter of extractTree is of type Tree a, you didn't suply a  
line specifying what to do with the value (Leaf a), so you didn't cover  
all possibilities of this type; that's why you get the message  
"Non-exhaustive patterns in function extractTree".

If you supply a prefabricated random list of Integers, this function can  
be pure (i.e. not in the IO monad)
