A Journey Through The Park (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:52s
Tom decided to take a journey through the park to clear his mind. As he walked, he noticed an old path veering into the woods. Curiosity peaked, he followed it until he reached a peak where he could peer into a valley below. There, he saw children playing pass with a Frisbee, their laughter echoing up the hill. Tom sat on a pile of leaves, feeling a sense of peace. With each breath, Tom felt the past come alive, reminding him of the cherished part he once had in these familiar trails. Suddenly, he heard a rustling and turned to see a dog with a stick in its mouth, its tail wagging, panting from the excitement of finding a new friend. Tom smiled, picked up the stick and threw it, watching the dog pick it up and run back. This simple joy, he realized, was a part of the beauty of life.
