On a sunny afternoon, a group of children were playing in the park. Some were chasing each other, some were building sandcastles, and others were flying kites. Peals of laughter echoed through the park; the children were giggling and laughing, full of joy and energy. One little girl accidentally fell, but she quickly got up and continued playing with the other children.
