“Look, look! It's spring!” said Max.

“Yes, yes! Spring is here!” cheered Ben.

“Let's go outside!” shouted Leo.

“Yay! Outside!” laughed Sam.

The sun was shining. The flowers were blooming.

“Look at the flowers!” said Max.

“Red, yellow, and blue!” said Ben.

“Pretty flowers!” said Leo.

“Smell the flowers!” said Sam.

They ran to the park.

“Let's have a treasure hunt!” said Max.

“Yes! A treasure hunt!” cheered Ben.

“Where's the treasure?” asked Leo.

“Follow me!” shouted Sam.

They looked under the tree.

“No treasure here!” said Max.

They looked by the swings.

“No treasure here!” said Ben.

They looked near the bushes.

“Wait! What's that?” said Leo.

They found a shiny rock!

“Look! A treasure!” said Sam.

“It's beautiful!” said Max.

“Let's keep it!” said Ben.

“Let's show our friends!” said Leo.

After the hunt, they sat down.

“Let's draw!” said Max.

“Yes! Draw spring!” cheered Ben.

“Flowers and sunshine!” said Leo.

“Let's draw together!” said Sam.

They drew flowers, sunshine, and happy faces.

“Spring is fun!” said Max.

“Yes! Spring is happy!” cheered Ben.

“Let's play again tomorrow!” said Leo.

“Yay for spring!” shouted Sam.

And they all laughed and played in the warm spring sun.

“Goodbye, flowers! Goodbye, sun!” they said.

“See you tomorrow!” they cheered.
