春游(A Spring Outing)
spring came with ail its glories. the new grass exposed its green colour. the pretty flowers opened their blossoms. we were tempted to go for an outing.
it was sunday, the 20th of april we set out very early on bikes, carrying bottles of champagne, beer and bags of cakes, bacon and cooked eggs. we rode along the winding paths in the fields, across the meadows and down the roads. the willow were fresh and green. the swallows were flying to and fro, up and down the sky. the birds, like musicians, snang their melodious songs in the trees, and the butterflies, like colorful dancers, were fluttering here and there. we breathed the fresh air deeply and laughed heartily.
at 10 a.m. we arrived at the foot of the shushan hill. we left our bikes with a bike repairing shop and began to climb up the hill. near the top, under a big tree with luxuri ant foliage we had our picnic. we drank and ate, talked and laughed. after the picnic we stood in the breeze with our hands on our waists, enjoying the fine landscape. then we lay on the grass talking about our life and studies.
at about 4 p. m. , we returned with balmy greenness on our backs and freshness in our hearts.
