Hello, dear readers. I'm Paul. The boy that you can see feeding a rabbit in this picture was me when I was a little kid. Today, I'm going to tell you how I spent my childhood days, and what my family and I liked and disliked.
My family and I loved going to the park on weekends. We liked having picnics there. My sister and I liked to watch the animals. My mother made simple sandwiches for us because both my mother and father hated cooking on picnic days. My sister and I loved playing around the park and feeding the animals. I didn't like sitting on the grass and doing nothing for hours. My parents liked to watch us play while they talked. We all liked going to the park because we loved being outdoors and feeling free. We could relax there and listen to the birds singing. We also enjoyed watching the little rabbits running around.
We could play as much as we wanted, but my father got angry if we went near the bushes. He didn't like letting his children go too far out of sight. Sometimes, when we went too far away, my mother called us back. She used to tell my sister that she had seen some spiders near the bushes. My sister was afraid of spiders. She still hates them. I'm not afraid of spiders, but I don't like flies. I just can't stand those little insects.
