The Four
Seasons
Many Indonesians do not know
the four seasons: Summer, autumn, winter, and spring.
In Indonesia, there are only two seasons, the dry and wet seasons.
In countries with four seasons, the temperature differs greatly from season to season. To some us, summer weather is familiar. It's temperature or heat is almost the same as that of our dry season.
Following the hot summer day, comes autumn, and nature begins to change. The green leaves change to yellow, red and brown. Finally those dry leaves fall to the earth, leaving the trees with nothing on their branches. Autumn is always beautiful. The falling leaves are colorful. Cool air makes the seasons the most popular time for picnics. As the last leaves fall to the earth, the wind becomes colder. Finally everything is dull.
In winter, snow starts to fall, making the earth and everything white. The temperature drops, and the weather is very cold, just the opposite of that in summer. In the northern part of the globe, the temperature may decrease many degrees below zero.
Then comes spring. Spring seems to give a new life to nature. Having seen mostly white all white long, people always welcome early spring joyfully. Young leaves start to grow on the branches of trees. More beautiful flowers grow after some showers which often come during the seasons. Nature is no ready for the next season, summer.
