Eyes shimmering with joy, she bounced up on the trampoline and felt like she could reach the sky with her finger tips. With so much happiness, filling the girl up like white light inside her body, she came down, and with even more strength, made a final immense jump. Exhausted, she sat down, her bright smile beaming across so far that you would be able to feel its warmth from the other side of the world.
