Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, there were four lovely seasons. The first season was called fall or autumn. It was when the leaves turned beautiful colors like red, orange, and gold. The second season was winter. It was very cold, and the snow covered everything like a cozy blanket. The third season was spring. The flowers started to bloom, and the birds sang sweet songs. Finally, there was summer. It was hot and sunny, and everyone loved going to the beach. One day, a funny little squirrel named Sammy was playing outside. He had a sore paw from climbing too many trees, but that didn't stop him from having fun. 'I'll work hard to get better,' he said.

Sammy wanted to go for a walk, but he knew it would be hard with his sore paw. He decided to work hard and practice walking. Every day, he walked a little bit farther. 'I will not give up!' Sammy said with determination. And guess what? After a week of hard work, Sammy could walk without any pain.

One evening after supper, Sammy's friend Benny the bunny came over. Benny told Sammy that there was a painting competition happening the next day. 'You should enter!' Benny suggested. 'I will tell you a secret: You are a really good painter!' Sammy felt excited and decided to go for it.

Early the next morning, Sammy woke up and started to paint. He studied the plants and flowers around him for inspiration. He worked hard and finished his painting just in time for the competition. 'You will do great!' Benny assured him.

The day of the competition finally came. Sammy went to the park where the contest was held. There were many other animals there too, all with their own beautiful paintings. Sammy felt a little nervous but also excited. 'I will do my best!' he thought.

When the judge announced the winners, Sammy's name was called! He had won first place! Sammy felt so proud. 'I couldn't have done it without your support, Benny,' he said. They celebrated with a wonderful brunch and promised to always encourage each other.
