I hear birds chirp as I open my eyes, a gentle breeze caresses my face. The sky is blue, free from clouds. I stretch my legs and prepare for my day ahead. Vibrant flowers surround me, swaying in the wind. Towering trees enclose the area; the bright, warm sun peeks through their leaves. Butterflies soar through the air, occasionally landing on the unusual, rich-coloured bushes and flowers. The gentle sway of the flora can be heard all around.
Up in the trees, the birds thrive. Mothers feeding their newborns, others attempting to fly. Squirrels run about, their bushy tails weaving through branches. A feeling of peace encases the area.
My stomach begins to rumble, its time to forage for food. I sniff around, looking for sweet delights. In the corner of my eye, I see deep purple berries. I dash over to them and inspect them. Slowly opening my mouth to bite into them, their flavours exploding in my mouth. They’re the nicest berries I’ve ever eaten. I quickly devour them all.
I hop about, taking in the smells and sounds around me. The day is hot, and my tongue is dry, I wander towards the glistening lake. Ducks glide on the clear water, ripples appearing as they move. I dip my mouth into the lake and begin to drink. I feel refreshed.
I look up to see the orange skies, it’s almost time to sleep. I scan the area for a comfortable place to rest. I make my way over to a tree with a cavity in its base. I squeeze my way in, it’s just big enough to fit me. I lay in a ball, looking out at the other animals, birds returning to their nests and squirrels climbing up their trees. The sun sets and my eyes begin to shut. What a wonderful day to be alive.
