John and Mary went on a trip to the mountain near their home. The ride up to the water falls in the morning was very pretty. They looked into an old pit where a man was digging. John said, "Digging like that is hard work!"

"This is a happy time, Mary," said John."Let's do this more often."

Mary looked up at the clouds. Then she looked at the many red,white, blue and yellow flowers around her. They made her think, "Why not come here more often? Life is too fast, but this place is still and quiet." So, She said to John, "Thank you for this trip to the mountain. It makes me happy to be here with you. This mountain and water falls are the work of God's hands."
