The Very Cold Day寒冷的一天

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，怀亚特妈妈都会带他去购物，为新学年买新衣服。怀亚特不喜欢购物，但今年他对自己拥有的冬季外套感到兴奋。怀亚特的新外套是橙红色的。这件大衣很暖和，但最棒的地方是兜帽，兜帽上有一圈棕色的毛领。当怀亚特把帽子戴到头上时，毛领让他的脸非常暖和。

怀亚特迫不及待想穿着大衣去学校。他一直等到 9 月和10 月过完了，万圣节和感恩节也结束了，但对于他的新外套来说，天气还是不够冷。

“为什么天气还没有冷到要下雪呢？”怀亚特问道。

“耐心点。”妈妈说“，凡事都有其时间和季节。

现在是12 月，怀亚特数着日子，直到冬天的第一天。也许那时天气会冷。

一天早上，他醒来时看见明亮的阳光透过窗户照射进来。怀亚特下楼吃早餐。妈妈说“：打开门看看外面，怀亚特。”怀亚特先向窗外望去。草不再是绿色的，而是白色的，被雪覆盖着。

怀亚特打开后门，冷空气迎面而来。外面终于冷下来了！他吃完早餐，准备去上学。

“别忘了穿上你暖和的大衣，怀亚特。”妈妈说。

怀亚特非常兴奋。他穿上大衣，把暖和的毛领帽拉到头上。这次当他打开门时，他一点也不觉得冷。
