A Day in the Park

Last Saturday, Anna went to the park with her best friend, Lisa. They walked along the path together and talked about school. Anna brought a basket filled  with sandwiches, fruit, and juice. Lisa carried a blanket with bright red and blue patterns.

 

At the park, they saw many people enjoying the day. Some children were playing with a ball, while others were running with their dogs. Anna and Lisa laughed as they watched a little girl walking proudly with a balloon in her hand.

 

Suddenly, they heard music coming from the stage. The guitar was played by a very young boy who looked no older than twelve. A beautiful song was sung by his sister, and many visitors stopped to listen. The performance was enjoyed by everyone sitting nearby.

 

Later, Anna and Lisa ate their lunch under a big tree. The sandwiches were made by Anna’s mother, and the fruit salad was prepared by Lisa herself. They shared stories and ended the day happily, glad to spend time with each other.
