We walked to the lake and sat on the old wood dock at dusk. The water was still and flat like glass under the pale moon. Frogs sang soft in the reeds and fish made small rings near shore. Dad cast a line and I watched the red float bob in the calm. A cool wind came off the lake and we pulled our coats more tight. Mom had a bag with bread and fruit and we ate as we sat still. Stars came out one by one and lit the wide dark sky above us. We walked home slow and talked about the calm night by the lake. We felt glad to be out in the fresh air with friends near. The day went fast and left us tired but full of good cheer. Mom smiled and said we did well and should rest a bit now. We made plans to do it all again when the sun comes back. Birds sang in the trees and the world felt calm and bright.
