Hello, my name is Lily. I am 9 years old and I study in Grade Three. Every day after school, I like to play with my friends in the park near my house. We often play games like hide-and-seek and tag.

One sunny afternoon, we decided to have a picnic in the park. We brought sandwiches, fruits, and juice boxes. While we were eating, we saw a little squirrel running around. It was so cute! We all tried to get closer to take a look, but the squirrel quickly climbed up a tree and disappeared into the leaves.

After our fun picnic, we played some more games until it was time to go home. On my way back, I felt very happy because I had such a great day with my friends. Sharing good times with others makes me feel warm inside.

Now, let's try a short reading comprehension exercise:
