A Camping Adventure
One sunny Tuesday in July, my cousin and I decided to go camping. We packed our bags with food, a map, and a bright yellow T-shirt each. "Are you glad we’re doing this?" I asked. "Certainly!" he said, smiling. We were both excited to see the countryside and spend time in nature.
We left home early and drove out of the city. The sky was cloudy at first, but by the time we reached the camping ground, it was clear and windy. "This place looks perfect," I said, looking at the green fields and the sea in the distance. There was a hill nearby, and we could see a group of birds flying over it.
We set up our tent near a modern campsite. "Let’s make breakfast," my cousin suggested. We cooked eggs and drank milk. "This is better than staying at home," he said. I agreed to do the dishes while he took a photograph of the sunrise. The picture showed the thin trees and the bright sky.
Later, we explored the area. We saw a mouse run across the path, and I heard a loud voice shout, "Look out!" It was nobody important, just a kid playing nearby. He was dirty from digging in the ground, but he looked happy. "Pardon me," I said, "but have you seen any danger here?" "No," he replied, "it’s all right. Just watch for the river—it’s low today, but it can be serious if it rains."
We continued walking and found a chess set someone had left behind. "Let’s play!" my cousin said. We sat on the grass and played thirteen games. I won eleven, but he was a good player. "You’re slow today," I teased. "I used to do better," he laughed.
In the afternoon, we reached a small village. The people there were friendly, and one man showed us his secret spot to fish. "Be careful not to lose your rod," he warned. "And don’t come down to the riverbank late at night." We thanked him and promised to be careful.
As the sun set, the sky turned dark, and we saw stars appear. "This is pleasant," I said, lying on the ground. "I remember camping here with my grandmother in December. She taught me how to open a can without a can opener." My cousin nodded, and we both felt at home, even though we were far away.
Suddenly, we heard a telephone ring. It was my friend calling to check on us. "Are you all right?" she asked in surprise. "Yes," I said, "we’re having a great time!" She was born in this area and knew all the best spots. "Stay on time for dinner," she reminded us.
That night, we sat by the fire. "I think this is the best trip ever," my cousin said. "Me too," I agreed. We talked about physics (which neither of us understood very well) and invented a game with stones. We pushed the stones across the dirt and laughed when we missed.
The next morning, we packed up. "I’m sorry we have to leave," I said, but I was also happy. We drove back, and as we passed the capital city, I looked at the map one last time. "Next time, let’s bring more people," my cousin suggested. "Maybe somebody from school?"
I nodded. "That sounds like a plan." As we drove, I thought about how many memories we made—memories of the sea, the fields, and the fun times with my cousin. It was a trip none of us would ever forget.
