\nPeaceful Pond Excerpt:
\nIn Ahway Island\u2019s Animal Sanctuary, the bright morning sun lit up the vast grassland below. The sky was clear and blue, with only the occasional fluffy cloud lazily floating by. Oliver Elephant woke up to the sun shining on his back, warming his skin like a blanket.\xa0 For a moment, Oliver considered closing his eyes again and just basking in the comforting sun rays for a bit more. But then he remembered \u2013 he, his mother, and the other elephants were going to travel to the big pond today!
\n
\nOliver enjoyed going to the pond. It was deeper and wider than the nearby pool. Oliver loved to play in the water and the mud with his friend Hettie the hippopotamus. Oliver liked to jump and splash in the pond, and he couldn\u2019t wait to show it to all the other elephants.
