Each September， Wyatt’s mom took him shopping to buy new clothes for theschool year. Wyatt didn’t like shopping， but this year he was excited1 about hiswinter coat. Wyatt’s new coat was red-orange. The coat was very warm. But thebest part of all was the hood2. The hood has brown fur3. When Wyatt pulled4 thehood over his head， the fur kept his face very warm.

Wyatt couldn’t wait to wear the coat to school. He waited all throughSeptember and October. Halloween and Thanksgiving had come and gone， butstill it wasn’t cold enough for his new coat.

“Why doesn’t it get cold enough to snow？”asked Wyatt.

“Be patient5，”Mom said.“There’s a time and a season for everything.”

It was now December， and Wyatt was counting6 the days until the first day"of winter. Maybe then it would be cold.

One morning， Wyatt woke up and saw bright sunshine shining7 through hiswindow. He went downstairs8 for breakfast“. Open the door and look outside，Wyatt，”Mom said. Wyatt looked out the window first. The grass was no longergreen， but white. It was covered9 in snow.

Wyatt opened the back door and was hit10 by cold air. It was finally cold"outside！ He ate his breakfast and got ready for school.

“Don’t forget to wear your warm coat， Wyatt，”Mom said.

Wyatt was very excited. He put his coat on and pulled the warm fur hood"over his head. This time when he opened the door， he didn’t feel cold at all.

每年九月，懷亞特媽媽都會帶他去購物，為新學年買新衣服。懷亞特不喜歡購物，但今年他對自己擁有的冬季外套感到興奮。懷亞特的新外套是橙紅色的。這件大衣很暖和，但最棒的地方是兜帽，兜帽上有一圈棕色的毛領。當懷亞特把帽子戴到頭上時，毛領讓他的臉非常暖和。

懷亞特迫不及待想穿著大衣去學校。他一直等到 9 月和10 月過完了，萬圣節(jié)和感恩節(jié)也結束了，但對于他的新外套來說，天氣還是不夠冷。

“為什么天氣還沒有冷到要下雪呢？”懷亞特問道。

“耐心點。”媽媽說“，凡事都有其時間和季節(jié)。

現在是12 月，懷亞特數著日子，直到冬天的第一天。也許那時天氣會冷。

一天早上，他醒來時看見明亮的陽光透過窗戶照射進來。懷亞特下樓吃早餐。媽媽說“：打開門看看外面，懷亞特?！睉褋喬叵认虼巴馔ァ２莶辉偈蔷G色的，而是白色的，被雪覆蓋著。
