Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the yard. But they do not like the same things. Anna likes to make snowmen in winter. Ben likes to jump in leaves in fall. They are stubborn and do not want to try new things.
One day, their mom says, "It is spring now. The season has changed. Look, there are flowers and birds and bugs. Why don't you go outside and see what you can find?"
Anna and Ben go outside. They see a big tree with pink blossoms. Anna says, "Wow, this is pretty. I want to smell the flowers." She runs to the tree and sniffs a blossom.
Ben says, "Yuck, flowers are boring. I want to see something cool. Maybe there are worms or spiders under the rocks." He runs to a pile of rocks and lifts one up.
But then, something happens. A bee comes out of the blossom and buzzes around Anna's nose. She screams and runs away. A frog comes out of the rock and hops on Ben's hand. He yelps and drops the rock.
They run back to their mom and hug her. They are scared and sorry. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We were stubborn and did not listen to you. We did not know spring had so many surprises. Can we try something else?"
Mom smiles and says, "Of course, my loves. Spring has many things to enjoy. How about we go for a walk and see the pond and the ducks and the rainbow?"
Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. We want to learn more about spring. Maybe we will like it as much as winter and fall."
They hold mom's hand and go for a walk. They see the pond and the ducks and the rainbow. They also see a butterfly and a snail and a kite. They laugh and play and have a good time. They are not stubborn anymore. They are happy.
