Strawberry Picking

       In a sunny morning, I went strawberry picking with my mom. I was excited and thrilled. My mom and I grabbed two pairs of scissors from the counter.
       After arriving at the strawberry farm, we started packing the strawberries. I wasn’t very good with the scissors at first, but after some time, I became more proficient with it.
       I tried to find some big strawberries, but I only found the little ones. The workers there later told me that big strawberries grow in sunny places, so I walked towards the sunshine.
       Indeed, there were lots of big, tasty and tempting strawberries. I bent over and picked as much as I can. Soon, my basket was full of red strawberries.
       My lips curved into a smile, and I ran to my mom. I showed her my strawberries and she was also over the moon. Later, I bought home baskets of strawberries.
       Then we got home, my mom washed the strawberries with me. When I tasted my strawberries, I got a sense of satisfaction from my hard work for the first time. This also made me realised how hard it was for the workers to grow strawberries. It was a new experience for me too.
