Today is a sunny day. Mike and his friends are playing in the park. There is a big playground in the middle of the park. The children are running, jumping, and laughing happily.

Mike has a red ball. He kicks it to his friend Sarah. Sarah catches the ball and throws it back to Mike. They play for a long time and then sit down to rest under a tall tree. The tree provides shade from the sun. Birds are singing in the branches above them.

Nearby, there is a small pond with ducks swimming in it. Some children are feeding the ducks with bread crumbs. The ducks waddle around, looking for food. A little girl named Emily is trying to catch one of the ducks. She giggles as she runs after it but cannot catch it.

After playing for a while, the children decide to have a picnic. They bring sandwiches, fruit, and juice boxes. Everyone shares their snacks and enjoys the delicious treats. The sun begins to set, and the sky turns orange and pink. It’s time to go home.

Before leaving, Mike looks up at the sky and says, “I love this park! It’s so much fun!” His friends nod in agreement. They all walk home together, talking about their favorite parts of the day.
