The road

 The sun was setting, and the sky was painted in a beautiful array of oranges and pinks. But the beauty of the sky was lost on the small family of three. They had been walking for hours, and the hunger in their bellies was growing with each step.

The father, a tall man with a strong build, had been the one to suggest they leave their home in search of food. He had heard rumors of a nearby village that had plenty of food to spare. But the journey had been longer and harder than he had expected.

The mother, a petite woman with a kind face, had been the one to keep them going. She had been the one to encourage them to keep walking, even when their feet were aching and their stomachs were growling.

The daughter, a young girl with bright eyes, had been the one to keep their spirits up. She had been the one to tell stories and sing songs to distract them from their hunger.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they reached the village. The father was the first to spot it, and he let out a loud cheer. The mother and daughter followed suit, and soon the entire family was running towards the village.

When they arrived, they were welcomed with open arms. The villagers had been expecting them, and they had prepared a feast for the family. The father, mother, and daughter ate until their bellies were full, and then they thanked the villagers for their kindness.

The family stayed in the village for a few days, and then they continued on their journey. But this time, they were not walking in search of food. They were walking with full bellies and hope in their hearts.
