Last Saturday, my family and I went hiking in the woods. My brother and I were very excited as we both loved nature.
After a long walk, we almost collapsed of exhaustion onto the soft green grass feeling as thirsty as ever. So we drank many bottles of water to quench our thirst.
When I had drank enough, I went to explore a little. To my surprise, I found a bird's nest lying in front of me. It had three eggs in it too. I thought to myself, "A bird's nest should be on a tree, if it had fallen from a tree, why aren't the eggs cracked?"
I went to call my brother and parents to come but they did not know what to do with the nest of eggs too. Without telling anyone, I picked up the nest and tried to put it on a nearby branch. Then, a bird dived down and started to peck me on the head! My brother grabbed his shoe and threw it at the bird, but it hit me instead! I cried in pain.
After we managed to get away from the bird, my parents brought us home as I had an indeed miserable day with not just a peck on the head, but a bruise on the face too!

One fine morning, my family and I made a trip to the jungle. We were trekking down the slope happily. We had a long journey before we could see many flowers and trees.
After we reached our designated spot, all of us felt worn out and decided to have our break. "Gurg...Gurgle..." The sound of the water going down my throat. It was a refreshing drink after a long walk.
We continued our journey through the large forest, just then, my little sister Maggie found a bird's nest on the ground. She shouted excitedly to us, "Hey! I found a bird's nest!" We ran over to her side. I knew that something had to be done or else predators would eat up the eggs.
I scooped up the nest and started climbing. I climbed and climbed until I reached the perfect spot for the nest. I gently put the nest on the branch before I started making my way down. My parents praised Maggie and I, saying that we had done a good deed. As we were leaving, my parents bought us an ice-cream as a prize for our good deed. I had an exciting and memorable day.

"Wow! What a beautiful scenery!" exclaimed Sue. She and her family were trekking in the jungle. The jungle was cool and refreshing and they were surrounded by lush greenery.
After a long trek, Sue and her family decided to take a break and quench their thirst. While they were resting, Sue and her family discovered that many predators were on the look out for food.
Soon, they continued their trek to the top of the mountain. Along the way, Sue caught sight of a nest on the ground with three eggs inside. She was feeling confused and asked her parents to come and have a look. They were feeling very suspicious and was searching high and low for the mother of the eggs.
Suddenly a loud groaning sound alerted Sue and her family. They noticed a bird lying on the ground, partly injured. What a coincidence that Sue's father is a veterinarian and he could probably save the injured mother bird. He bandaged the bird and put her in the nest together with the eggs. In the end, the mother bird chirped happily and we waved goodbye to her.

One fine day, Benedict's parents decided to bring the whole family to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to exercise. They went there very early in the morning because when afternoon arrives, it would be very hot and they do not want to have a dark tan.
After reaching their destination, the family started to trek up the hill. They were laughing and talking happily on the way.
After a long period of time, the family was thirsty and hungry. They started to snack on the tit-bits that they had packed and drank plenty of water to quench their thirst.
After eacting and drinking, the family continued trekking. Reaching the summit was a hrad task but they finally managed up there! Everybody was so tired that they almost fell asleep in the hut. Suddenly, Benedict's sister Amanda found a nest lying on the grass. She was curious and quickly ran towards it. She saw that there were three blue eggs in the nest, but the mother robin was missing. Amanda though that the mother had flown away in search of food and the nest was blown off by a gust of wind.
Gently, Amanda put the nest back onto the high branches. Soon, the mother robin came back and it fed its newly hatched with the worms. Amanda loved to see them eating worms and Amanda was happy because she had done a good deed. Shortly after, it was time to go home. Amanda, Benedict and her parents had a memorable day. It was a wonderful journey.
