As I run to the village for the first time, I feel the rush of the wind in my hair. I wave to the ladies in the shower caps saying hello. On my way down, I notice the chickens walking around me and clucking, sometimes pecking at my feet. I see a few of my friends, smiling while they help their mom hang up laundry and cook the fish for dinner.
They run up to me with open arms and huge smiles. I give them a hug and we go off to play on the beach. The sun is just setting and the sky is a pinkish-orange. My friends go back to help their mom before it gets too dark and we walk back up, warm and happy.
