The Joyful Gathering (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:37s
In a small village, the folk gathered by the river’s edge where the water would flow gently. They were preparing a feast with plenty of food that filled the air with delicious smells. Each person had a task, like fetching fuel for the fire, or bringing full baskets of fruits from the orchard. The children raced each other on foot, their laughter echoing as they felt free. The mayor, who had organized the event, was proud to form such a strong community. He announced that the feast was also a fundraiser and they had collected enough funds to build a new school. Everyone cheered, feeling happy and united.
