What's the weather like in autumn? Is there any other sign of autumn?" "The fallen leaves." Henry replied. "What's the squirrel doing?" I asked. "He's collecting nuts." He replied.

“Can I come out of my shell now?” said Tortoise. “No, don’t come out now,” said Robin. "It’s too cold. It’s winter!”

Tortoise was covered by snow. Robin was standing in front of tortoise. "What else can you find in this picture, Henry?" I asked. "A snowman. The house and all the trees are covered by snow." He replied. "Where's the squirrel?"  "Maybe it is hiding in a warm place."

“Can I come out yet ?” said Tortoise. “No,not yet!”said Frog, “It’s a very wet spring day!”

"Tortoise felt a little bit impatient. It had stayed in its shell for so long, from autumn to spring. Btw, how's weather like in spring?" I said. "It's warm and wet. It's raining. The grass and leaves are green now."
