Lily loved autumn. The leaves turned orange, yellow, and red. "Look, Mommy! The leaves are falling!" Lily said.
"Yes, dear! It's time for the autumn festival!" Mommy replied with a smile.
Lily and Mommy walked into the forest. The air was cool and crisp. "What do you hear, Lily?" Mommy asked.
"I hear crunching leaves!" Lily giggled.
"Yes! The leaves make a crunchy sound when we walk," Mommy said.
Lily picked up a leaf. "It's so pretty!" she exclaimed.
"Let's collect more leaves!" Mommy suggested.
Lily nodded. "Yes! Let's pick red ones and yellow ones!"
They collected leaves. "Look at this big one!" Lily laughed.
"That's a special one!" Mommy said.
Soon, they saw friends. "Hi, Lily! Hi, Mommy!" called Ben and Ella.
"Hi, Ben! Hi, Ella!" Lily waved.
"Are you ready for the festival?" Ben asked.
"Yes! We love autumn!" Lily cheered.
At the festival, there were pumpkins. "Look at this pumpkin!" Ella said.
"It's orange and round!" Lily clapped her hands.
"Let's make pumpkin pie!" Mommy said.
"Yummy!" Lily said with a big smile.
They painted pumpkins. "Mine is happy!" Lily shouted.
"Mine is silly!" Ben laughed.
As the sun set, they gathered. "Let's sing!" Mommy said.
Lily sang, "Autumn is here, autumn is fun!"
Everyone joined in. "Autumn is here, let's have fun!"
Lily felt happy. She loved the colors. She loved her friends.
"Goodbye, autumn!" Lily waved.
"See you next year!" everyone sang.
Lily smiled. "I can't wait!"
