Every year, February 2 is a special day.
It is Groundhog Day in the United States.
A small town in Pennsylvania has a big party.
The town is called Punxsutawney.
People wake up very early in the morning.
They go outside to see a famous animal.
He is a groundhog, and his name is Phil.
A groundhog is a small, furry animal.
Phil lives in a warm hole in the ground.
On this day, he comes out of his hole.
People say Phil can tell the weather.
They watch him look at the ground.
Does Phil see his shadow?
If he sees it, winter will last six more weeks.
If he does not see it, spring will come early.
Many people watch Phil on television.
It is a fun and happy winter tradition.
