Happiness in Nature by Finley P4
A couple of days ago, I was going to the local community woods just a few paces away from my house. It is a dark wood, but when I got to the core of the woods, it is a magical place.
I live just a bit out of Annan my house is quite small, but I still love my house. There are lots of children playing in the beaming sunlight that was ever so slightly peeping through in the direct centre of the woods. There is lots of space to run about and have fun. I did bring some stuff to have fun with, and I brought lots of delicious snacks with me. I decided to share some stuff that I had with me but in the most fun way possible. You see I brought some quite random stuff with me such as a bamboo stick and a plate. The reason I brought these things was that I come here a lot and I know there is always other children playing here too.
There was about 23 people (that’s including the adults) so I said to everyone there hello everyone are we all having a nice time. Everyone shouted YES! I told them I would put on a show they looked really excited. I said I have lots of entertainment awaiting you so be prepared to watch the best show of your life. They all looked really exited all the adults smirked at me thinking a nine-year-old boy couldn’t put on a show, but I didn’t worry about it.
I started off with spinning a plate on the bamboo stick that we mentioned earlier it was spinning faster than the speed of light. The parents were starting to grow quite jealous of me. It looked like they wanted to be able to do that too, but it took me years to learn to do this. Then, it seemed the children had lost interest. I had to bring out the big guns. I got 126 juggling ball and started to juggle but the balls that I use light up whenever I touch it, they will light up in completely random order so it could flash in the order of the rainbow 18 times. When I finished the show, everyone gave me such a big round of applause. I thought there was an earthquake. All the adults apologised for ever doubting me and I felt happier than ever.
This really was my happiest place in nature!
