My Day on the Nile
Dear Diary,
Today I am on a big river. It is the Nile River.
We are on a wooden boat. It is called a felucca.
The boat has a large white sail. The wind pushes us along.
The water is blue and calm. I can see the green trees on the shore.
A big white bird flies by. It is an egret.
It dips its beak into the water to catch a fish.
I see a small boat next to us. A man is fishing.
He waves at me and smiles. I wave back.
The sun is warm on my face. The water makes a soft splashing sound.
I love our boat trip on the Nile.
Goodnight, Diary!
