இன்று காலை நான் பூங்காவிற்கு சென்றேன். சூரியன் பிரகாசமாக இருந்தது, மற்றும் பறவைகள் பாடிக் கொண்டிருந்தன. நான் எனது நண்பர்களைச் சந்தித்தேன், மேலும் நாங்கள் மணிக்கணக்கில் பேசிக்கொண்டோம். அவர்கள் எனக்கு அன்பாக இருந்தார்கள், மற்றும் நாங்கள் எல்லாரும் ஒன்றாக சிரித்தோம். இது நான் எப்போதும் மறக்க முடியாத ஒரு நாள் இருந்தது.
