One, two, three, four, five...
-Hello, Katherine. How are you?
-Oh, hello, Newton. I'm fine, thank you.
-Incredible, she hasn't even looked at me.
What are you doing, Katherine?
-Oh, I'm counting how many days are left until my birthday.
-You're always thinking about having fun.
Luckily there are people like me who think about important things.
And when is your birthday anyway? It was in summer?
-No, my birthday isn't in summer, it's in winter actually.
And I wonder if you can guess which month it is it.
-Of course I can guess,
you're talking to a genius, my dear.
-Okay, well, my birthday is in the second month of the year.
-Oh, that is easy!
Your birthday is in February.
-Correct!
-My birthday is in winter too.
-Already, Newton? I didn't know that.
-Yes, it's in the last month of the year.
You know which month that is?
-Yes, I think I do.
Is your birthday in December, the Christmas month?
-Yes it is, and to be exact,
my birthday it's on the same day as Christmas day,
the 25th of December.
-Well, what a coincidence.
-I have another question about months for you, Katherine.
In which months can we eat apples?
-Interesting question, Newton.
-Yes, well, I know all about apples, you see?
I discovered gravity by watching how apples fell from the trees.
-Well, although we can eat apples all year round,
apples are a typically autumn fruit.
-That's right!
-And autumn starts in September and goes on to December,
just before Christmas.
-Exactly!
-And now I have another question for you.
Hey, kids! Do you know the answer to this one?
Which month is known as "the flower month"?
-Oh, I know it! I know it! -Wait a minute.
Yes!
That's right, it's May.
In May there are the most flowers.
-Well, in April there're many flowers too!
-Yes, that's right, Newton.
That's because it's spring!
-Yes, and most seasons last three months.
Look at the calender!
So, how are you going to celebrate your birthday, Katherine?
-Well, I have to think about it,
but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a big party.
-I love parties!
A big party with lots of inventions and experiments.
-Well, Newton,
I was thinking about a birthday party
with lots of friends, games,
presents and a big cake.
Hey, would you like to come to my birthday party?
-Oh, well, of course I'm invited, I will be the guest of honor!
-Great. -And I expect a big delicious cake!
-And I expect a present from you.
So today we have learnt that the year is divided
into four seasons:
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
-Yes, and each season lasts about three months.
-Exactly!
Well, goodbye, Newton. I see you in my birthday party.
-Oh, yes!
Goodbye everybody! -Bye!
