1. Passage: A Calm Retreat
“On a quiet Sunday, Emma and her family drove to the countryside. They arrived at a small farm with rolling hills and open fields.
The children ran to pet the sheep, while Emma helped her mother pick fresh strawberries. Later, the family sat under a big oak tree and
enjoyed a picnic of sandwiches and lemonade. Before leaving, they visited the nearby pond, where Emma’s father pointed out ducks and frogs.
As the sun began to set, the family packed up and headed home, feeling refreshed and connected with nature.”
