Passage:
Autumn, also known as fall, is one of the four temperate seasons. It marks the transition from summer to winter, characterized by cooler temperatures and the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees. The days begin to shorten, and the vibrant colors of red, orange, and yellow paint the landscape as the leaves change before they fall. Many animals prepare for winter by gathering food or hibernating. Autumn is also known for its harvest festivals, where farmers celebrate the season’s bounty with pumpkins, apples, and other crops. It is a time of change, reflection, and preparation for the cold months ahead.
