seasons of the year

reading time!
 Once upon a time, there were four
seasons in the year called Spring,
Summer, Autumn and Winter. Each
season was very different, but two of
them didn’t get on very well at all.
You may be wondering who they were?
Well, they were Winter and Summer.
From the moment they met, Winter and
Summer had clashed, since Winter liked
the cold, rain and snow, and Summer
preferred sunshine, dryness and heat.
In fact, they were polar opposites.So
one day the four seasons got together
to resolve the problem.
 Spring comes after Winter, and with
her the trees and fields begin to
flower and it stops being so cold. And
Autumn, who follows Summer, brings
with him the falling leaves, the start
of the cold weather and a few rain
showers.
 At their meeting, Spring and Autumn
tried to explain to Winter and Summer
that they should get along, for all
four of them are needed to complete
the circle of life on Earth.
 Spring said: “Winter, it’s because of
you that all living creatures are able
to live, for there is water when the
frozen ice melts and the rivers fill
up.
And Summer, it’s because of you and your
splendid summer sunshine that there is
life on the planet and a climate that
let’s the fields flourish to give us food.
So you see, you’re not so different after
all...”
Winter and Summer paused to think about
this for a few minutes, and then Winter
said: “That’s true, Spring. Now I
understand. We must be united, for each
of us performs a function throughout
the year and this means there can be life
on this planet.”
And that was how Spring and Autumn made
Winter and Summer see that it is only by
being united, and not standing against one
another, that they can keep balance on
Earth.
the end.
