Summary
On a warm, sunny afternoon, a group of children gathered around a colorful picnic blanket. Birds chirped in the trees, and a gentle breeze rustled the grass. Ella, a curious little girl with sparkling eyes, held up a magnifying glass. "Look what I found!" she exclaimed, pointing at a tiny ladybug resting on a leaf and a smooth, round stone beside it. Tommy, a boy with a bright red cap, leaned in, tilting his head. "What's so special about a rock and a bug?" he asked. Ella grinned. "One of them is living, and the other is nonliving. Can you guess which is which?" Lily, a thoughtful girl who always had a book in her hands, adjusted her glasses. "The ladybug is alive! It moves, grows, and even eats," she said, watching the tiny insect crawl up a blade of grass. "Exactly!" Ella nodded. "And the stone? It doesn’t move, grow, or need food or water. That makes it non-living." Tommy picked up the stone and turned it over in his palm. "So, living things need food, water, and air to grow—like us, trees, and the ladybug!" he said. "And non-living things stay the same unless something moves or changes them," Lily added with a smile. Ella clapped her hands. "Let's go on a nature hunt! Let's find more living and non-living things!" The children ran around the park, eyes wide with excitement. "Look! A butterfly!" Lily called. "These flowers are living too!" Tommy added, crouching to observe a bright yellow daisy. "But this fallen twig is non-living now because it’s no longer growing," Ella pointed out. They laughed and shouted out their discoveries, filling the air with joy. As the sun began to set, Tommy stretched his arms. "This was so much fun! I can't wait to explore more tomorrow." Ella held up her stone and leaf. "Me too! There's so much more to discover." With happy hearts, they walked home under the twinkling stars, ready for another day of adventure.
