 Remembering Fun Times

Once in a little town, Sarah and her friends had exciting adventures every
weekend. They used to meet at her house, plan cool trips, and ride bikes.
Tom, who loved jokes, used to take lots of pictures. Emily, the nature lover,
used to tell interesting facts about plants and animals they found. They
explored secret places and had picnics under big trees. Evenings were
spent around a campfire, making memories. Though life took them different
ways, those weekends full of laughs are now special stories. The fun they
used to have made strong friendships and happy memories that last.
