Fall Leaves

How do leaves know to get ready for winter? Why do they turn red and yellow and orange?

In spring and summer, days are long. Trees make a lot of food, and their leaves are green.

In the fall, the days grow short. There is only a little light, and it is very cold. The trees begin to rest.

The green leaves fade away. Leaves begin to turn red and yellow and orange. Then, they turn brown, and they drop to the ground.

In the spring, it is warm. New leaves appear on the trees, and they are green in color. But we know what will happen to them in the fall!

秋叶

树叶怎么知道为冬天做准备？为什么它们会变成红色、黄色和橙色？

在春天和夏天，白天很长。树能制造很多食物，它们的叶子是绿色的。

秋天，白天变短了。只有一点光，天气很冷。树开始休息了。

绿叶凋谢了。叶子开始变红、变黄、变橙。然后，它们变成棕色，然后落到地上。

春天，天气暖和。新叶子出现在树上，它们是绿色的。但我们知道到了秋天会发生什么！
