Read the story Easy English

One early morning, five-year-old Lisa wakes up under a bright blue sky feeling happy. She puts on her hat and wears her boots before heading to a big and quiet farm. As she walks slowly across the farm, she sees green grass, brown soil, and hears birds singing. She meets a cow that says moo and sees small chickens walking around, smiling and saying hello to them.

Next, Lisa holds a watering can and waters the plants as the water goes splash splash. She touches the brown soil, feeling how warm and soft it is, and learns that plants need water and sun to grow. Afterward, she picks fresh and clean vegetables like carrots and tomatoes, feeling proud of her hard work.

To rest her legs, Lisa sits under a tree while enjoying the soft wind and calm farm. At the end of the day, she looks back at the farm, feeling happy and calm because she helped the farm today. She says goodbye to the farm and heads home to rest peacefully.
