Often the simple things offer the most pleasure. Imagine standing in a rose garden, surrounded by fragrant flowers. Or walking through a forest on a bed of fallen leaves. Holding a puppy that is the smallest of the bunch.

            Listening to a concert of middle school students, paying attention to your relative who’s struggled to learn the violin.

            There are many things that bring us joy.

            Your task is to write a story in which your character celebrates a small, simple pleasure.

            Have fun with this one.
