This place was truly beautiful… which was what drew the young girl away from the island she called home. Venturing to the mainland wasn’t a common feat for her, given that it was exhausting and took a lot of time. But she had always wanted to know where the families of geese went that flew overhead in this direction. They never landed on the islands, seeing that they were freshwater birds. But she wanted to know where they went instead.
So she followed them here, unknowing what was in store for her. And when she saw this sanctuary, she was left in awe. Looming willow trees cast their shadows over clusters of ponds littering the area, creating a lush sea of green despite the heat of summer. The symphony of frogs croaking, geese honking, ducks quacking, bugs buzzing… it was so different compared to what she knew from home. A childlike giggle escaped her jaws as she walked along a path, taking in the scenery with a big smile on her face. A large, ivory butterfly fluttered in front of her, and she abruptly stopped to avoid disturbing it. “Hello, beautiful!” She said, just as it landed on her nose before fluttering away. She giggled again, falling onto her haunches so she could raise a paw and wave goodbye to it. She was glad she made the journey here. This place was so fun!
