24Sam asked, %u201cWhy do the leaves change colours?%u201dShe explained, %u201cLeaves have a green colour because of a special pigment called chlorophyll. It helps the leaves make food for the tree. But in autumn, the trees stop making food because there is less sunlight. The chlorophyll breaks down, and the green colour slowly disappears. Then, we can see the other colours hiding in the leaves, like red, orange, and yellow. It%u2019s like the trees are wearing their prettiest outfits before the leaves fall.Lily and Sam were amazed at this magical transformation.Lily said %u201cThat%u2019s so cool! Autumn must be really beautiful with all the different leaf colours.%u201d%u201cYes, Lily! In autumn, when you go for a walk in a park or a forest, you%u2019ll see colourful leaves all around you. It%u2019s like nature%u2019s own art show!%u201d added Mrs. Diana.Sam asked, %u201cIs there anything else special about autumn, Mrs. Diana?%u201dShe smiled, and was ready to share more interesting things about the season.%u201cAbsolutely, Sam! Autumn is also a time for harvest. Farmers gather the ripe fruits and vegetables. The cool breeze in autumn reminds us that winter is coming. It%u2019s a time to wear sweaters and use blankets. Lily and Sam thanked Mrs. Diana for sharing the wonders of autumn.
