peep forth. The white snowdrop is one of the first flowers of spring. How
lovely it is! Then forget-me-nots, lilies of the valley and violets make their
appearance.
    Birds sing their songs among the trees and begin to get their nests ready
for summer. The gardeners dig the ground and sow seeds in the gardens.
The days are warmer, for the bright sunshine has come again. Everything is
full of life and joy. Soon the soft spring showers will water the earth and
make the seeds grow.
    In June summer sets in. June, July and August are summer months. June
is one of the most pleasant months of the year. The days are the longest, as
the sun rises early and sets late in the evening. The trees are in leaf, roses
begin to blossom and their sweet perfume fills the air.
    Then July begins. It is the warmest month of the year. Summer is in full
beauty. The sky is blue. The sun is bright and hot.
    Sometimes dark clouds gather in the sky. How fast they move along.
See, they have hidden the sun. There is no blue sky at all. It is all black with
clouds. It is dark like night. It will rain soon.
    Now the rain begins. What large drops! Now the rain is over. It was only
a shower. The flowers smell sweet, the sun shines brightly, and the birds
sing. The hot sun ripens corn and fruit. Everything is ready for the harvest.
    In September summer yields to autumn. The days become shorter and
the nights longer. Apples, pears, plums and nuts are now ripe and may be
picked. The grain crops have ripened and harvest time begins. Most birds go
away to warmer countries.
     The green leaves are fading. They begin to fall off. Some have fallen off
from the trees and are lying dead on the ground. The leaves are no longer
green, they ate red, yellow and brown. People go to the forests to pick nuts
and berries or to gather mushrooms.
    It often rains. The rain doesn't stop, it is drizzling. The weather is nasty,
a piercing wind is blowing. It is more pleasant to stay indoors. It is bitterly
cold at times. It is muddy, there are many pools of rainwater in the streets.
Sometimes it is foggy, and the fog is very thick.
    Winter has come at last. There are no flowers now in the gardens and the
leaves have gone from the trees. The snow lies thick upon the ground, and
the birds hop about looking in vain for food.
   Snowflakes are falling thick and fast. Snow lies on the ground, on the
bare branches of the trees, on the roofs of the houses. All the rivers and
lakes are frozen; everything around looks so beautiful covered with ice and
snow.
