My Letter from the Golden Beach


Dear Grandma,
I am on a big walk. We are at Abel Tasman.
It is a beautiful place. We walk on a long path.
The sand here is bright gold. It feels warm on my feet.
I see big green ferns. They look like giant feathers.
They grow next to the trail. They keep us cool in the shade.
Today, I saw some fur seals. They were playing on the wet rocks.
One baby seal did a splash. It looked at me and made a funny noise.
I love this sunny beach. I will bring you a pretty shell.
Love, Leo
