The tall trees were her friends, and the rustling leaves whispered secrets. She used to imagine fairies dancing in the sunlight. But things changed when her family moved to the city. Now, the only nature she saw was in the park down the street. The sounds of traffic replaced the chirping birds. She missed the freedom of the forest. On weekends, she was used to wandering for hours, but now she felt trapped in the concrete jungle. One rainy afternoon, she decided to visit the park.
