Reading Passage:

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to explore the world around her. One sunny day, she decided to go on an adventure in the forest near her house. As she walked through the tall trees, she noticed a small, colorful bird flying above her. Lily followed the bird, curious to see where it was going.

After a while, Lily reached a clearing in the forest. In the middle of the clearing, there was a sparkling pond. Lily saw a family of ducks swimming happily in the water. She watched as the ducklings followed their mother, gliding gracefully across the pond. Lily smiled and sat down on a nearby rock to enjoy the peaceful scene.

Suddenly, Lily heard a rustling sound behind her. She turned around and saw a squirrel scurrying up a tree. The squirrel had a shiny acorn in its mouth. Lily wondered if the squirrel was collecting food for the winter. She thought about how animals prepare for the changing seasons.

As the sun started to set, Lily knew it was time to head back home. She thanked the forest for the wonderful adventure and promised to return soon. Lily walked back through the trees, feeling happy and content.
