It was a perfect spring day.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">The spring fair was in full swing at the bottom of the hill so nobody noticed what happened in the field overlooking the celebrations. If they had, they probably wouldn’t have believed their eyes anyway.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">“Yes, this will be perfect.” He said to himself, after watching a group of small children playing together for a while. “Just not now… no, the time is not right yet. They’re too young still.”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">He stepped back through the doorway and disappeared muttering to himself, “Another year should be fine. Yes, another year. It will take two more after that…”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">The door closed and disappeared, cutting off the man mid-sentence leaving the field empty again, as if nothing had happened.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">

They say that teachers learn more than the people they are teaching and the same is writing &#8211; it forces the writer to deeply think through what they are trying to communicate.</p>
