I love autumn!
I love the blue skies.
This year we are going to Mt. Sorak to see the colorful leaves on the trees!
Dad: What are you doing?
We're leaving soon.
Bada: I don't want to go.
Hana: Can Bada and I stay here?
We don't want to go hiking.
Mom: No, you can't.
Besides, I know you'll love Mount Sorak.
Mom: Now, come on!
Hana: Wow! Look at the beautiful colors!
Why do leaves change colors?
Dad: Because the trees are getting ready for winter.
Mom: All leaves have green, yellow, and orange in them.
Mom: But in the summer, the green color is the strongest.
Bada: Why?
Mom: Because of the sun, and water from the tree.
Mom: But when the weather gets cooler, the tree gets less sun and water.
Dad: So the green fades, and the other colors like [n3@yellow and orange become brighter.
Bada: Here's a red one!
Mom: Yes! There are red and purple leaves too.
Dad: Hana, you like maple syrup on your pancakes, right?
Hana: Yummy! I love maple syrup.
Mom: Well, that syrup comes from the trees!
Hana: Wow! I never knew that!
Dad: Bada! Pick that up!
Mom: Never throw your garbage on the ground.
Bada: But why?
Dad: Do you throw garbage in your room?
In your house?
Bada: No, only in the trash can.
Mom: Well, this is the trees' house.
Mom: And it is home to the birds, squirrels, and other living things too.
Mom: We mustn't make it dirty.
Do you understand?
Bada: Yes, Mommy. Sorry, little squirrel!
Dad: Now, let's all take a picture.
Hana & Bada: CHEESE!
We spent three days in Mount Sorak.
Mommy and Daddy taught us so much.
We learned about trees, birds, and animals.
I'm glad we didn't stay inside and watch TV.
