1. The pizza was delicious.
|
Steam rising up off the melted cheese made my mouth
water. The first bite, my teeth sinking into the cheese through the
tomato sauce and into the moist crust, made me chew and swallow rapidly. Even
the cheese and tomato sauce, sticking to my fingertips, begged to be licked.

2. The morning was beautiful.
|
Behind the mountains the sun peaked brightly ready
to start a new day. The blue sky remained silent yet showed signs of
saddness. The wind whispered through the trees as the cheerful sun rose.
The birds sang gently by my window as if they wanted to wake me up.
