Adam's Peak

 Adam's Peak


Adam's Peak is a very tall and beautiful mountain in the country of Sri Lanka. Many people call it Sri Padaya. 
 

people from all over the world and different religions visit the mountain together. 
At the very top of the mountain, there is a large rock with a mark that looks like a giant footprint. 

Buddhists believe it belongs to Lord Buddha.
Hindus believe it is the footprint of Lord Shiva.
Christians and Muslims believe it belongs to Adam.



To get to the top, you have to climb thousands of stone stairs. Most people start climbing at night. You will see a long line of lights stretching up into the sky. When the sun rises, it turns the sky bright orange and pink. 

 

There are also many tiny white butterflies that fly toward the mountain. This is why some people call it Samanalakanda, which means "Butterfly Mountain."

When you reach the top and see the view, you feel like you are standing on top of the world.

Rainy Day

 Rainy Day A rainy day is a very special day for me. When I wake up and see dark clouds in the sky, I feel very happy. I love the sound of the rain hitting the roof. I like theese days.  When it rainds,  I love to run outside and splash in the water puddles. It is so much fun to see the water fly everywhere.   My dad helps me make small boats out of paper. My brother also join to me. We watch them float and sail in the little streams of water on the street. Sometimes the rain is too heavy, so I stay inside where it is warm. I wrap myself in a soft blanket and read my favorite storybooks. I think the rain is good for everyone. It gives water to the thirsty plants and helps the flowers grow. It is the best time to play and dream.

My Favorite Bike

🚴 My Favorite Bike  🚴 My favorite bike in the whole world is the  Kawasaki Ninja.  It is a very cool sportbike that looks like  it came from a movie.  The first thing I love about the Ninja is its color.  Most Ninjas are a bright, shiny.  It is so bright that everyone can see it coming.  The bike looks very fast even when it is just parked.  It has sharp edges and looks like a powerful machine. When the engine starts, it goes nice sound. It like  "Vroom Vroom". It sounds like a growling lion. It can go very fast, just like a real ninja moving through the trees. When I grow up, I want to wear a sport bike kit.  I want to sit on the seat, hold the handles,  and ride it down a long road.  The Kawasaki Ninja is not just a motorcycle; it is the coolest bike ever made. I love very much to this bike.

 The Magical Sinharaja Rain Forest The Sinharaja Rain Forest is a very special place in Sri Lanka. It is so old and full of life, people call it a "World Heritage Site," which means it is a treasure for the whole world.  There is rains a lot in Sinharajaya  This helps the trees grow very tall and strong. Even when the sun is shining, the ground inside the forest stays cool and dark. There are lot of animals that you cannot find anywhere else on Earth. You can see the Blue Magpie and the Red-faced Malkoha flying through the trees and many of birds, monkeys and etc.  The forest is like a giant garden. There are beautiful orchids, giant ferns, and vines that look like long ropes. Some trees are very old and reach high into the sky to touch the clouds. We must protect this. Sinharaja is like the "lungs" of Sri Lanka because it helps give us clean air and fresh water. We must be very careful not to hurt the trees or the animals.
