Story: The Autumn

In autumn, the leaves change colors. The trees turn beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow. It’s like the world becomes a colorful painting.

The green leaves slowly fall to the ground, making crunchy sounds when we walk on them. The weather becomes cooler, and the warm summer days start to fade away.

People take out their cozy jackets, scarves, and hats to keep warm. Children love playing in piles of leaves, jumping and tossing them in the air.

The wind gently blows, making the leaves dance and swirl around. Autumn is also a time when animals get ready for winter. Squirrels collect acorns, and birds fly south to find warmer places.

In autumn, we enjoy warm drinks like hot chocolate and apple cider to keep cozy. It’s a season filled with beautiful sights and the soft rustling of falling leaves all around.

Autumn is a time for harvests, pumpkins, and sharing moments with family. The days get shorter, but the sunsets are stunning, painting the sky with bright pinks and deep purples.

Autumn is not just a season; it’s a celebration of change and beauty.
