Carrying my
heavy bag pack over my shoulders, I stepped out of my house, ready to leave for
school. My school was around a kilometre away from my place, and so I preferred
walking instead of going in a school van.
After
wishing a warm goodbye to my mom, I started off to school. I saw a couple of
students hurrying and getting into their vans and cars, while a few others
preferred walking just like I did. I kept on looking at the scenery and trees
that made me feel cool and internally relaxed. I even saw a nest in which a
bird was busy feeding its child.
Then I saw
an old woman holding a stick in one hand and a heavy shopping bag on the other,
walking in front of me. I felt, she was in pain and difficulty, carrying the
heavy bag and so I instantly moved towards her and helped her carry the bag up
to her home.
She gave me
a pleasant smile and patted me on my shoulder saying, “May God bless you, my
child.”
This made
me feel very happy and proud of my act. I reached the pathway and continued
with my journey. I felt the cool air pass by that even made some tree swing
hard. Suddenly a branch of tree overhead fell beside me with a hard sound. This
made me jump and say, “I thank God it didn’t hurt me.”
While
crossing a park on my way I saw two lovely squirrels, fighting over a nut and
then running after each other, as if they were humans, this made me smile and
love the bounties and creations of God. I looked up at the sky and again took a
deep refreshing breath.
I moved further
and a few minutes later I came across a beautiful pond with two gorgeous swans
swimming in it. I moved over to it and offered a piece of a biscuit I was
having, to one of the swans who gulped it instantly, I moved my hands over her
fluffy fur and felt the softness.
I was about
to offer it another piece of biscuit, but, that lovely creature moved away. I
touched the water, splashed it towards it and then continued with my journey. I
kept on walking looking around, feeling fresh, when I arrived near my school
gate. I smiled remembering my delightful journey and went inside.
