“Look, red leaves!” says Mia.
“Yes, orange leaves!” says Ben.
“Brown leaves!” says Lily.
“Yellow leaves!” says Max.
The children run and laugh. Leaves crunch under their feet. Mia picks up a big leaf. “It is soft,” she says.
Ben smells an apple. “It smells sweet!” he says.
Lily holds a pumpkin. “Heavy pumpkin!” she says.
Max points to the sky. “Birds fly! Bye-bye, birds!” he says.
Grandpa smiles. “Today is Autumn Festival,” he says. “We pick apples. We pick pumpkins. We dance and sing.”
The children clap. “We love the festival!” they say.
Mia bites an apple. “Crunch, crunch! Yummy!” she says.
Ben helps Grandpa carry pumpkins. “I am strong!” he says.
Lily makes a leaf crown. “Pretty!” she says.
Max jumps in a leaf pile. “Soft leaves!” he says.
“Let's sing!” says Grandpa.
The children sing, “Thank you, autumn! Thank you, leaves! Thank you, apples and pumpkins!”
The sun is warm. The air is cool.
“We love autumn,” say the children. “Autumn is fun. Autumn is beautiful.”
Grandpa hugs the children. “We are happy together,” he says.
“Yes!” say the children.
