Spring break is a time of sunshine and fun. Nature begins to slowly come to life and the air begins to smell of spring. What could be more wonderful than a fresh spring breeze in a quiet forest?
In one wonderful Sunny day, I went for a walk, and decided to go into the depths of the forest, where once everyone gathered together with friends for a picnic. I followed the narrow path ahead, then turned to the right near a large oak tree, its bark thick, its branches reaching up to the sky, and only the breeze slightly swayed the thin branches of the top. And here it is, strawberry glade! Even at other times of the year, this glade is beautiful!
Sitting down on a small stump, I began to remember that day, the day of the picnic. I remembered the whole picture to a single moment, despite the fact that it was a long time ago. I remembered how, as soon as we arrived, we lay down on the soft grass, soft with the morning dew. The sun shone even stronger, and now, lying on the cool ground, I felt this warm sun all over my body, and joy, boundless joy! And now, sitting on a stump, I again felt this warm sun, the intoxicating smell of strawberries, beautiful butterflies and a little cool breeze.
