Reflection

      Elizabeth, a young girl, slowly walked around the edge of the pond, while  looking down, down into darkness. She had never realized the beauty  of  nature, for, she never had time to enjoy it. As she sat down in a     hammock, she noticed a fish as he swam by, his colors brightly shining       fromthe gleam of the sun. She loved the silence, all she could hear was  theconstant sound of a chirpier and an occasional fly passing by.         Elizabethjumped at the sound of the evening bell, but she paused and softly she spoke and said: I will return. Before she left a bullfrog croaked    hisgoodbye the cattails waved their thank-you’s and the fish swam by as if  hewas saying farewell.
