Walking under the blue sky she heard a woodpecker distance and insects buzzing about. In between all of the sounds there was a deep comforting silence. Noah put down her backpack and took off her shoes and socks. It took off her shoes and socks. She giggled loudly when her bare feet touched the soil.

It felt rather cool. The grass was soft and dewy. Still nor enjoyed these sensations. They were refreshing, like a glass of cold lemonade. At first, she tipped her from flower to flower, curious like a butterfly. Then, with her arms wide open, she ran through the clearing, mimicking the sound of an aeroplane, trying to catch the wind. A yellow cape fluttered behind her.

When she finished exploring, Nor slowed down to fully enjoy the sunshine. Lying flat on her back, she gazed at the sky and studied the small, wispy clouds. She wondered if they were sticky, like cotton candy, or if they just happened to look similar. As she pondered her answer, Nor spotted a tiny black silhouette. It was a bird gliding through the air gracefully, like in a choreographed dance. Nor had always dreamed about flying. She climbed tall mountains to be closer to the sky. She wore her yellow cape to determine the wind's direction. And she loved all kinds of flying creatures. There were many lessons to be learned. In sex buzzed because of their rapid wing movements.

Butterflies contracted their bodies to propel themselves through the air. flies contracted their bodies to propel themselves through the air. Trusting the wind, some migratory birds traveled up to six months without stopping. Flying was pretty incredible, and no-ok dream of nothing she wanted more. Mesmerized, no watched the bird in the sky. She thought about its feathery wings and the feeling of weightlessness. Every time she imagined this feeling, no couldn't help but to smile. And even though she wasn't a bird, she knew that one day she would fly with them. Back on her feet, I'm ready to resume her walk through the forest. Nure noticed something peculiar. A gigantic tree stood right in the heart of the clearing. That strange, she thought. The tree hadn't been there a few minutes ago, when she was

running around through the grass. Unsure of what to believe, Nure closed her eyes and gently pinched her arm. It wasn't a dream. The tree was still there. It stood majestically under the glowing sunlight. Nure put on her striped socks and laced up her sneakers. Then, feeling more than a little excited, she moved towards the larger it seemed. It had a sturdy trunk, countless branches, and roots that were thick, twisted, and aged. Standing next to the tree, Neur felt the size of an ant. The trees broad-crown reached the clouds, and its trunk was so wide that it looked like multiple trees hugging. She touched the trees wrinkly bark and introduced herself. The emerald leaves moved left and then right as if they were waving hello. Encouraged by the quick response, Nure walked around the tree and talked to it about her family, her friends and her dreams of flying. She proudly presented her

yellow cape, although she wasn't sure that the tree would understand its function. As Noah walked and talked to the tree, she noticed something shimmering close to its base. It was a beautiful feather. She picked it up, interested in examining it up close. The feather was large, soft, and irredism blue. What a treasure, no whispered to herself. you
