The Girl and the Little Swan

On a bright Saturday morning, Mia wears her yellow rain boots and red T-shirt, packs a snack in her green backpack, and walks to the lake close to her home. There she notices a white swan moving smoothly across the water, with a small grey cygnet paddling right behind it. Mia settles quietly on a flat rock, taking care not to bother them, and feels fortunate to see such a special family.

When a visitor with a camera rushes toward the water for a closer view, Mia grows anxious, knowing the swans need room to feel safe. She politely explains that the swan family needs privacy, just as people do, and the visitor listens and moves to a bench farther back. Others soon join, and Mia gently reminds them to keep a respectful distance.
