Eight-year-old Maya and her parents were on
vacation. They were walking in the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachians are
a group of mountains in North America.
Maya's
family were walking on a long, long road. Its name is the Appalachian Trail. It
starts in the US state (州) of Maine
and ends in the state of Georgia. Maya and her family started near their home
in Maryland. This was Maya's first time to leave her state. After walking for
some days, the family decided to take rest (休息) in West
Virginia.
Every
evening, Maya and her family would make a campfire. She loved to dance around
it. She also enjoyed sleeping in a tent each night. Maya wanted to remember
everything interesting on her vacation and she had her special way to do
that-drawing. For example, when she came across new animal, she would
take out her pencil quickly.
Maya
learned that she had to be quiet if she wanted the animals to stay. She also
drew lot of flowers. Maya thought that flowers were much easier to draw,
because they didn't run away!
