    An interesting story
    “You know what guys. It was the season of spring, one of my favourite seasons. In
    the spring I was walking in the garden and I felt the wetty grass at that time I was
    eating chocolate too. The day was precious, I saw blue sky, white clouds, budding
    leaves and various flowers. I heard the melodious sound of birds, they were
    singing in harmony in the early morning. Then I smelt the beautiful fragrance of
    roses. (Do you like the smell of rose? Rose is my favourite flower. Which one is
    yours? Let me know in the comment.) and I also felt the freshness of the wind
    against my cheeks. I touched flowers, they were soft and lovely.”
