Has your heart ever danced with deers?

Visiting the countryside can be a way to be active during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

My family and I went on a car ride to the countryside. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, we should not go near people other than who we live with, so we did not get out of our car.

While we were driving we observed many beautiful deers on both sides of the road. All the deers were gracefully jumping over the fence beside the road during sunset. This is the first time we have seen so many deers at a time.

It was an amazingly exciting moment for all of us, it made our hearts dance. I hope we see something like this again!

We wish we could pass more time there but it was getting dark so headed home.

Note from Jeni: Some kids have asked if they are allowed to send in more than one story, and the answer is YES! Every day, I share stories from first-time writers, and sometimes I’ll add in an extra story from a returning writer, too. Prokriti’s first story was posted just yesterday, and so normally I would wait to share another — but I decided to share this second story now, because it’s such a good fit for Earth Day. 🌎❤️
