3:00
Boots keep your feet dry when it rains. Make sure
3:03
you wear them if you go splashing in the puddles.
3:06
Don't forget an umbrella too. Plants in autumn. In autumn,
3:11
the leaves change color on some trees. They turn from
3:15
green to red, orange, or yellow. The leaves fall off
3:19
and cover the ground. Have you ever walked on leaves
3:24
on the ground? What did it sound like? You may
3:27
not see many flowers or plants during autumn. Flowers and
3:30
plants do not grow well in cold weather. The plants
3:34
and flowers grow again when it is warmer in the spring.

is too cold for some birds, so they fly to
4:14
warmer places around the world. Some animals gather lots of
4:18
food during autumn. Squirrels gather lots of nuts and hide them.
4:22
This means they have lots to eat.
4:24
Speaker 2: In the winter. What animals live in your area?
4:30
Speaker 1: Some animals eat lots and lots of food during autumn.
4:33
This means they can hibernate or sleep through most of
4:36
the winter. Some frogs hibernate during winter bears usually sleep
4:42
during winter. This means they spend autumn eating as much
4:45
food as they can. They sleep in their den, which
4:49
can be made in logs, caves, or trees. Time to celebrate.

6:35
need to remind yourself of all the things you love
6:37
about autumn. Mom suggests, hmm. Pete says, I'll try. Pete
6:44
finds Grandma in the kitchen. She's baking delicious pumpkin pies.
6:49
The whole house smells sweet and spicy. Pete loves helping
6:53
Grandma bake pumpkin pie, but he loves helping eat it
6:56
even more. After the baking is done, Pete picks a
7:01
squat orange pumpkin from the counter and slips into his
7:05
backpack as a souvenir. Next, Pete heads to the town
7:10
corn Maze. Pete and his friends wander through the long,
7:13
twisty paths made of tall cornstalks. The best part of
7:18
the corn maze is getting lost and having to start
7:21
all over again. As he leaves, Pete plucks a golden
7:25
corn cop from the maze and places it inside his backpack.
7:30

ride around the park.

8:09
of sweet smelling hay from the wagon and stuffs it
8:12
into his backpack. Pete heads over to the apple orchard,
8:17
where he and Calli go apple picking. They eat sweet
8:20
apple doughnuts and drink hot apple cider, and fill their
8:23
buckets with apples of all different shapes and sizes. Before
8:28
he leaves, Pete chooses a round red apple and drops
8:30
it into his backpack. Next, Pete stops by the park.
8:35
He plays touch football with Bob and their friends. Pete
8:38
scores a touchdown and everyone cheers. After the game, Pete
8:43
grabs Bob's football and stuffs it into his backpack.
8:47
Speaker 2: It barely fits.
8:49
Speaker 1: Bob won't mind if I borrow this, Pete says. Finally,
8:53
Pete heads back home, but he stops in his front yard,
8:56
which is covered in bright leaves falling from the trees.
9:00
Pete helps his dad rake the leaves into big, colorful mounts.
9:04
Then Pete runs and jumps into all the leaf piles.
9:08
After he's done jumping, Pete picks a bunch of red
9:11
and goat and orange leaves and stuffs them into his backpack.
9:16
Pete's backpack is bursting with fallse souvenirs. He can't wait
9:20
to show Mom. I love autumn, Pete says. Wonderful, says Mom,
9:26
you know these would make great decorations for Thanksgiving. So
9:31
Pete helps Mom fill a basket with all their mementos.
9:35
They place the basket at the center of the table.
9:38
You did a great job, Pete says, Mom. It's beautiful,
9:41
says Dad. Is that my football? Asks Bob. Just then
9:46
the doorbell rings. The Thanksgiving guests are here. All of
9:51
Pete's family and friends gather around the dining room table.
9:54
They tell stories and laugh at jokes while they eat.

Everyone is having a great time. Pete looks around the
