Joy Learning

Suppose you spent a moonlit night in a forest guest house. Write a paragraph of about eighty words on your experience. Mention the sounds that you heard there.​

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend a night camping in a forest in Rishikesh, India. It was a full moon night and there was a stream flowing nearby. All night I could hear the soothing sound of the stream trickling by.

There was also constant background music scored by the crickets. I had expected to hear the sounds of some animals, maybe the roar of a tiger.

However, no such sounds were heard.

Instead, deep into the night, I heard continuous sounds of drums being beat at a distance. The next morning, the camping staff confirmed that there was probably a wedding at some distant village located deep inside the forest, and all night I heard the drums celebrating the union of two souls.
