This is autumn. The summer has gone. The nights are frosty. The days are cool. The trees are red and yellow. The leaves are falling from the trees. Soon the snow will come. The moon is large in the sky. It looks like a great yellow ball. The stars shine brightly. I love to see the moon and the stars. [{56}] I love the large red apples. Have you apples in your garden? I love the peaches and the pears. I go with my father to the woods, and gather nuts. I will crack the nuts on the frosty nights, and eat them before the fire. God made the apples, and nuts, and peaches, and pears. I will thank God for his goodness.
