Jack was a pumpkin farmer. He lived in a big house on the edge of a town and grew the largest
Pumpkin farm around the town. Jack’s pumpkins were famous , for they always had the perfect shape and never rotted ( 腐烂 ) until well after Halloween . Every year around Halloween , people came from all over the town to buy his pumpkins to make their jack-o-lanterns ( 南瓜灯)
One year, Jack was thinking about his pumpkin harvest ( 收获 ) of the year when his good friend Pete came to visit him.
I have some bad news , Jack ,” Pete said.
“What is it ? “ Jack asked . a little worried.
The town decided not to have Halloween this year! They said there was simply no reason for it and they didn’t have time to celebrate it because many other holidays were coming up soon . Peter told him. He knew this was very bad news for jack.
Jack became very sad and lowered (低垂 ) his head . “What can I do now , Peter?” I have all these beautiful pumpkins and I can’t keep them until next Halloween .”
Peter replied, “ Well , there are always pumpkin pies and pumpkin bread for other holidays.”
Jack was worried and said, “I sell most of my pumpkins for the Halloween . I can only sell a few pumpkins during the rest of the year. And Pete, it’s not so much about the money . I live a simple life out here in the country and I don’t need much money . But I feel happy every year when thousands of people get my pumpkins and take them and make them into beautiful jack-o-lanterns.
Now all these pumpkins will be useless because people won’t make jack-o-lanterns this year. oh, this is very bad news .” Jack began to weep . large tears ran down his face.

Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate(迁徙).Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese (鹅) fly in noisy, “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.
Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as weather changes. For example, a kind of rabbits grow white fur (毛) to help them hide in the snow.
It’s hard to find food in winter for animals. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change. The red fox eats fruit and insects
in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, it cannot find these things, so it eats small animals instead. Some animals hibernate(冬眠) for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. Squirrels store food like nuts to eat later in winter. Bears and some bats hibernate. Cold-blooded animals like fish, frogs and snakes have no way to keep warm during the winter. Snakes find protection in holes, and spend the winter without moving during the whole season.
