Story: A Day at the Park

It is a warm, sunny day. I go to the park with my family. The sky is blue, and the birds are singing. I feel happy.

We walk on a small path through the trees. The green leaves move gently in the wind. I hear the sound of children playing. Some are running, and others are laughing.

In the middle of the park, I see a big playground. It has swings, a slide, and a climbing frame. I run to the swing and go back and forth. It feels like flying in the sky!

Then, I go down the slide. Whee! It is so much fun. I laugh with my little sister. She holds my hand and we play together. We also see ducks near a small pond. They swim and quack.

We sit under a tree and have a picnic. We eat sandwiches, apples, and drink juice. The food tastes good, and I feel relaxed. My mom reads a book, and my dad takes photos of us smiling.

Later, we play ball on the grass. I kick the ball, and my dad catches it. We run and laugh. It is a perfect afternoon. I feel free and joyful.

As the sun starts to go down, the sky turns orange and pink. The park becomes quiet. We pack our things and say goodbye to the park.

I love the park. It is full of trees, animals, and happy people. I can run, play, and relax. I want to come back soon!
