But he dreamed of something bigger—he wanted to create his own cartoons. So, together with his brother Roy, they started their own cartoon company. Unfortunately, their company didn’t do well, and Disney found it hard to make ends meet. He had to cut costs wherever he could, even turning to eating cheap food just to get by. Disney didn’t lose hope. He kept working hard and finally created a character named Oswald the Rabbit. It seemed like things were turning around, but unfortunately, Disney lost both his team and the rights to Oswald the Rabbit, leaving him feeling lost.

Finally, we passed by a park. “It looks inviting, doesn’t it?” Frank asked. “Shall we take a walk through it?” We were talking about Jiyang Park. It lies quietly to the west of my neighborhood. It’s not very big. It is actually called city pocket park. Honestly, I had never given it much attention before. Our walk that day made me see it in a new light. As soon as we passed through the gate, an azalea (杜鹃) garden came into view. All the flowers were fully in bloom (盛开). As we walked along the stone path, our eyes were greeted with many different kinds of red. The rain had just stopped, and a few drops of water were still dancing on the flowers. It was hard not to want to reach for our phones and take some pictures. As we walked on, we saw some birds. Each one was singing a different song. Maybe they were talking to us: “Good morning! Nice to meet you!” City pocket parks have been in the news recently. Scientists say that a 20-minute walk in a park is enough to make you feel better.
