Mitya and the Seasons He Loved
Have you ever loved one season so much that you wished it would last forever?
Mitya did.
But something funny happened every few months that made his father smile quietly to himself.

The Snowy Days of Winter |
The whole village was covered in thick white snow. The river had frozen into shiny ice, and children laughed as they slid down the hills on sleds.
Mitya raced faster than everyone else. His cheeks turned bright red from the cold wind, and snowflakes clung to his wool cap.
After skating on the frozen river all afternoon, Mitya ran home, breathing hard and smiling from ear to ear.
“Father!” he shouted. “Winter is the best thing ever. I wish it could stay winter forever!”
His father looked up from his chair and chuckled softly.
“Then write your wish in my pocketbook,” he said.
Mitya carefully wrote down his wish.

Butterflies in the Spring Meadow |
Weeks passed, and the snow slowly melted away. Tiny green leaves appeared on the trees, and flowers popped up across the meadow like little drops of paint.
Mitya spent his days running through the soft grass, chasing butterflies with laughing children.
One afternoon, he gathered yellow and purple flowers for his father.
“Spring is wonderful!” Mitya said happily. “I wish it could stay spring forever!”
Without saying much, his father pulled out the little pocketbook again.
“Write that down too,” he said with a smile.
Mitya happily added another wish.

The Long Golden Days of Summer |
Soon the days grew warmer and longer.
Mitya went to the fields with his father during haymaking season. The air smelled sweet and fresh. Birds sang overhead while tall grass danced in the wind.
The boy spent the day fishing in the stream, picking juicy berries, and jumping into giant piles of hay.
By evening, he was tired but happier than ever.
“I had the best day of my life!” he told his father while lying on the warm hay. “I wish summer would never end.”
His father nodded and opened the pocketbook once more.
Mitya grinned as he wrote down another wish.

The Wonderful Colors of Autumn |
Then autumn arrived quietly.
The trees turned orange, red, and gold. Cool breezes rustled through the garden while apples and pears hung heavily from the branches.
Mitya helped pick the ripest fruit into large wooden baskets.
He held up a bright red apple and laughed.
“Father, autumn is the best season of all!”
This time, his father smiled and slowly opened the old notebook.
He showed Mitya the pages.
There, written clearly in the little book, were all his wishes.
Winter is the best.
Spring is the best.
Summer is the best.
And now autumn too.
Mitya stared at the pages for a moment. Then he began to laugh.
Maybe every season had its own kind of magic.
That evening, Mitya understood something important.
Happiness was not hidden in only one season.
Every part of the year brought its own beauty, adventures, and special memories.
And maybe life felt wonderful because things changed.
Moral of the Story
Every season has its own happiness. When we enjoy each moment instead of wishing for only one thing forever, life becomes much more beautiful.
