Autumn is a beautiful season. In this season nearly all fruits ripen. Autumn fruits like pomegranates, figs, apples, oranges, tangerines, and lemons are abundant. The leaves slowly turn yellow and fall down. Farmers pluck the fruits off the trees in their gardens and keep them in storage so that they do not spoil. People wear woollen winter clothes. It gets colder the last month of autumn and then the cold winter arrives. It usually snows in the wintertime and white covers everywhere. Children love to play with snow, and make snowmen.

This is the last lesson of the basic text. Thank God that we finished this textbook and can now somewhat read, write, and speak in Persian. Persian is a nice language, and anyone can easily learn it. If we continue studying this language for another two years, we would be able to take advantage of the books written in the Persian language. Iranian poets have written many poems in Persian; learned Iranians have written various scientific books in this language; Persian stories are nice and worth reading. If we learn this language properly, we could read all these books and become familiar with Iranian thoughts. I hope we can finish what we have begun, so that our efforts would not be fruitless.
