 When I was little, one day I got a teddy bear. Usually, boys don’t buy teddy bears, but I kept it next to me on my bed so I wouldn’t feel lonely. At that time, I thought of it as my older brother. Because I don’t have any brothers or sisters, I kept it close to me like a sibling. But as time passed and I grew up, it slowly became just a normal teddy bear. Recently, I saw a baby monkey called Punch playing with a teddy bear because it didn’t have its mother. When I saw that, it reminded me of my childhood. Even today, that teddy bear is still with me. Now I have even given it a funny name  "Amara".😂 What I really want to say is this... When we don’t have love and affection in our lives, we sometimes look for those feelings even in lifeless things.

  The sky is a very special and beautiful place. It is one of the things I love the most in my life. Whenever I look at the sky, I feel calm and happy. The sky looks like a painting with blue and white colors. Sometimes it is bright blue, and sometimes it is covered with soft white clouds. These clouds move slowly and change their shapes all the time. The sky at night and the sky during the day are very different. During the day, the sky is bright because of the sun. At night, the sky becomes dark and is filled with shining stars. The moon also makes the night sky look more beautiful. I really like the evening sky the most. When the sun is setting, the sky changes into many colors like orange, pink, and purple. It looks like a watercolor painting on a big canvas. The sky is something we can always enjoy. No matter where we are, we can look up and see it. It makes us feel free, peaceful, and connected to the world.
