It was a crisp fall day in New York State. Kate and her brother Pete put on warm coats and went for a hike down Pine Lane. The wide path was full of red and gold maple leaves. A cool breeze blew off the lake, and the sun began to shine through the tall trees.
Soon, they came to a wooden gate at an apple farm. "Look at those huge pumpkins!" Pete said with a big smile. They saw a cute brown mule standing in the shade of an old barn. A farmer gave Kate a note that said, "Pick five crisp apples to take home!"

Kate and Pete walked down a line of apple trees. They picked five bright red apples and found a pine cone shaped like a star. By the side of the stone wall, they watched white geese glide across the blue lake.
It was getting late, so they rode their bikes back home. Mom had a warm stove going in the kitchen. Together, they made a sweet apple cake to share. "Fall in New York is the best time of year!" said Kate, humming a happy tune.
