Totara Autumn Stories
The Autumn Fall
Today I saw lots of leaves swirling and falling onto the fresh green grass. It looked like a carpet of golden yellow leaves.
When I picked one up it was soft and dotted with green dots.
When I looked at the tree I saw some berries. From far away they looked green and brown.
I wish I could make a giant pile of them and jump in it.

How Koreans count their age
Koreans count their age in 3 ways, one of them is the same as we do here in New Zealand and lots of other countries.
One of the ways Koreans do it, regardless of the day they were born, is that they are one year older on the 1st of January.
The 3rd way they do is basically the same, when they are born they are automatically 1 years old and they age every new years eve instead of the 1st of january.
