Today is Children's Day. I am very happy. In the morning, I went to the fun park with mom and dad. The fun park is very happy. We rode on many rides. It was exciting to go on the roller coasters and the merry-go-round. The park was full of children laughing and playing games. I felt joyful seeing so many happy faces around me.

In the afternoon, we saw a puppet show. The puppets danced and sang. They are very cute and performed many funny tricks. I watched carefully how the puppeteers moved the puppets.
