A Day in the Forest
In the morning, the sun kisses the sleepy forest awake. The trees stretch their green arms towards the sky, shaking off the cool morning dew. The flowers open their bright eyes, smiling at the new day. The river dances joyfully, its water sparkling in the sunlight. The birds start their sweet symphony, their voices echoing through the forest. The fox, sly as a mysterious whisper, sneaks through the underbrush. The bear, strong as a towering oak, lumbers towards the river, its reflection rippling in the water. As evening falls, the forest hushes, and the moon tells bedtime stories to the sleepy animals.
