School began again and the days cooled. Tim had less

time to visit the garden. When he did, the pumpkin plant

seemed tired. There were few new leaves, and the old

tattered ones no longer hid the fat green pumpkins.

Then, one October morning, Tim woke to see frost

coating the garden. The frozen plants seemed changed

to pale blue glass.

After school, Tim discovered what the frost had done.

The pumpkin plant’s leaves were as limp as wet paper.

It was dying.

Tim searched among the withered leaves for the

unripe pumpkins. He picked them and put them on the

front porch, hoping for one more change.
