I love eating watermelon. It's a big, green fruit. The inside is bright red. It has many black seeds. I eat the red part with a spoon. It is so juicy and sweet.

In summer, if you chill watermelon in the fridge, it tastes even better. After school or sports, having a cold slice of watermelon is amazing.
