Once upon a time, there were four best friends named Summer, Spring, Winter, and Autumn. They lived in a magical land where they could change the weather as they desired. One day, they all decided to have a race to see who could make the most beautiful season.

Summer made it hot and sunny, Spring covered the land in flowers, Winter made it snow, and Autumn made the leaves fall from the trees.

But just as they were admiring their work, they noticed that they had made a mistake. The snow was melting because of Summer's heat, and the flowers were freezing because of Winter's cold.

So, they all worked together to create a perfect balance. Summer made it warm enough for the flowers to bloom, Spring made the winds mild, Winter added just enough snow for fun, and Autumn made the leaves dance in the wind.

And that's how the seasons became the perfect combination of warmth and chill, beauty and fun, and snow and flowers.

The end.

Reflections

1. What did each season create on its own?
2. How did the seasons affect each other's work?
3. How did the seasons work together to create a perfect balance?
4. Why do you think the seasons became friends?
