Lila and Sam were very excited. They were going to see fireworks for the first time. Fireworks were rare in their town. They only happened on special days. Today was a special day. It was the birthday of their country.
Lila and Sam put on their warm coats and hats. They followed their mom and dad to the park. There were many people in the park. They all had blankets and baskets. They were waiting for the fireworks to start.
"Mom, when will the fireworks start?" Lila asked.
"Soon, honey. When it gets dark, you will see them in the sky. They will be very bright and colorful. They will make loud noises. But don't be scared. They are just for fun." Mom said.
Lila nodded. She was not scared. She was curious. She wanted to see the fireworks. She looked at the sky. It was still light. She sighed.
Sam saw a big hill in the park. He had an idea. He grabbed Lila's hand and said, "Come on, Lila. Let's go to the hill. We can see better from there."
Lila agreed. She followed Sam to the hill. They climbed up the hill. They found a spot where they could see the whole park and the sky. They sat down and waited.
Soon, the sky got darker. The stars came out. Lila and Sam looked at the stars. They were pretty. They counted the stars. They made shapes with the stars.
Then, they heard a loud boom. They looked up. They saw a bright red firework in the sky. It looked like a flower. They gasped. They saw another firework. It was blue. It looked like a star. They clapped. They saw more fireworks. They were yellow, green, purple, pink. They looked like circles, hearts, diamonds, swirls. They oohed and aahed.
Lila and Sam realized that fireworks were amazing. They were happy. They smiled at each other. They hugged. They watched the fireworks until they stopped. They thanked their mom and dad for taking them to see the fireworks. They said it was the best day ever.
