In a land full of laughter and sunlight, there was a beautiful village. A sparkling river cut across the village like a ribbon of blue silk.

Big, shiny Mountain Mount Shiny faced the village. Its peak glistened like a star during the day.

Everywhere, people were happy. Some played by the river while others sat on blankets, eating their lunch.

Anna and her brother, Ben, raced to the riverbank. They whooped with joy as they dipped their feet into the cool water.

The children in the village loved to imagine what was beyond Mount Shiny. 'Maybe there’s a dragon!' Ben shouted.

Anna laughed, 'Or a treasure, hidden deep in a cave!' Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Their mother called them for lunch. They ran back to their picnic blanket and ate their sandwiches.

After lunch, the kids played tag. Their laughter rang through the village like a joyful song.

Later, Anna and Ben lay on the grass, looking at the clouds. 'That one looks like a fluffy sheep!' exclaimed Ben.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned orange and pink. Mount Shiny stood tall, protecting the village.

The villagers gathered to watch the sunset together. It was a time of day they all loved.

With hearts full of happiness, the villagers returned home. The river whispered its goodnight, and Mount Shiny twinkled in the twilight.
