Hello everyone! Today, I'd like to share a favorite memory.
Last autumn, I went to a forest near my town to collect leaves for a scrapbook. At first, I only found ordinary leaves and felt disappointed. But then, I walked deeper into the forest. Suddenly, I saw a patch of bright red and orange maple leaves that looked like little flames! I also found uniquely-shaped oak leaves nearby. Finally, I had a great collection.
I was tired but very happy. I learned that with perseverance and a spirit of exploration, we can find wonderful surprises.
Thank you for listening!
