    In the middle of the meadow, a tortoise was slowly making its way through the grass. Enjoying the warmth of the sun, he was in no hurry to reach anywhere.

    Near the stream, a fluffy white sheep was peacefully grazing. She had a calm and gentle demeanor and enjoyed the tranquility of the meadow.
