Read this short passage:

Timmy was a brave boy who loved big adventures. He lived in a little village near a huge mountain. One bright morning, Timmy thought, "Today, I'll climb that mountain!" He put a sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water in his red backpack. He waved to his mum and started his big climb.

Up and up Timmy went. He saw pretty flowers and heard birds singing. He even saw a bunny jump by a bush! When he got to the top, Timmy couldn't believe his eyes. The whole village looked so tiny from up there!

Timmy sat on a rock, ate his lunch, and looked at the tiny houses and trees below. "Wow!" he said, "This is amazing!"

When the sky started to turn orange, Timmy knew it was time to go home. He walked back down, feeling happy and excited. His mum was waiting to give him a big hug. "I had the best day ever!" Timmy told her. He was already dreaming about his next adventure.
