Indian Summer

Here is some folklore I wrote.


When the summer comes around, all the animals have fun and play. But, when fall comes around, the animals all get to work. The sign of fall is the sign of winter approaching. The sun would get very sad at this time because he enjoyed watching all the animals play and the animals were going to leave him alone due to hibernation. The sun tried to keep the temperature warm like summer so that the animals will stay to play and not hibernate, but they never did. The sun still tries to do this every year. That is why we have what is called Indian summer. Note: The sun gives up when it is winter because he needs to save the rest of his energy for the following spring and not to stop the animals from hibernating.
