EXAMPLE
There was a delicious smell coming from the kitchen.
It was a sunny day, and Mrs. Thompson, our friendly
neighbor, was baking a special treat.

As the aroma filled the air, my curiosity led me to her

door. Inside, I found Mrs. Thompson, wearing a
cheerful apron, surrounded by flour and mixing bowls.

She explained she was preparing her famous apple pie

for the neighborhood picnic. I couldn't resist asking for
the recipe. With a warm smile, she gladly shared her
secrets.

Soon, we were laughing and baking together, turning

a simple smell into a delightful community gathering.

Title: A Story: Waking Up Early

Chris woke up early because there was a lot to do

before everyone arrived. In a quiet town, surrounded
by green hills, Chris lived with a big family.

The sun peeked over the horizon as Chris tiptoed

down the creaky stairs. The smell of fresh coffee filled
the kitchen, where Mom was already preparing
breakfast.

Chris's goal was to organize a surprise birthday party

for Dad, who loved morning gatherings. As the family
woke one by one, Chris juggled decorations and a
pancake batter, creating an atmosphere of joy.

Dad's eyes sparkled with happiness, making the early

wake-up worthwhile.
