The Smiths woke up earlier than usual. There was something about hiking that made them feel wide awake and excited to start the day as their eyes were open.
The family had a simple breakfast. They discussed the plan for the day. “Dad and I looked at a map last night,” said Mrs. Smith. “We found a nearby trail(小径). There are many interesting things along the way, and there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.”
“What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny.
“It won't be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you'll find out.”
They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away.
Then, they continued their hiking. Jenny and Mike were discussing what kind of snake they had just seen. At this moment, they came to an open area with some small pools. The kids' eyes grew wide. They looked at their parents.
“Is this the surprise?” asked Mike in excitement.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith smiled as they walked over to one pool. Steam(蒸汽) rose into the air. “They're hot springs(温泉),” explained Mr. Smith. “The heat is produced from inside Earth.”
“Could we have a bath in the spring if we have our bathing suits?” asked Jenny. Mrs. Smith nodded. “Your bathing suits are in the bag.” “I can't believe it! Mom and Dad. This is a great surprise.” Jumped Jenny.
