The mountain was not the one of which we had been told
that it was a very lofty and barren place, but one of
the most beautiful in all the world. It seemed almost
impossible to believe that such a thing could exist.
We went up the side of the mountain, and found ourselves
on a level plain at an altitude of about two thousand feet.
The air was cool and refreshing, and we felt as if we were
in another world. The scenery was magnificent, and we
felt as though we were in heaven. We saw many wild animals,
and heard the sound of running water. The birds sang sweetly,
and the wind rustled through the trees. We felt as if we
were in a fairyland. We saw many beautiful flowers, and
we felt as if we were in a garden of Eden. We saw many
beautiful birds, and we felt as if we were in a paradise.
We felt as if we were in a world of our own. We felt as
if we were in a world of beauty and peace. We felt as if
we were in a world of joy and happiness. We felt as if
we were in a world of love and kindness. We felt as if
we were in a world of light and glory. We felt as if
we were in a world of hope and faith. We felt as if
we were in a world of truth and righteousness. We felt as
if we were in a world of wisdom and understanding. We felt
as if we were in a world of courage and bravery. We felt as
if we were in a world of strength and power. We felt as if
we were in a world of grace and mercy. We felt as if
we were in a world of peace and harmony. We felt as if
we were in a world of love and kindness. We felt as if
we were in a world of light and glory. We felt as if
we were in a world of hope and faith. We felt as if
we were in a world of truth and righteousness. We felt as
if we were in a world of wisdom and understanding. We felt
as if we were in a world of courage and bravery. We felt as
if we were in a world of strength and power. We felt as if
we were in a world of grace and mercy. We felt as if
we were in a world of peace and harmony.
