The Frozen Lake

Today I went for a walk with my mom around my dad's office. There's a huge lake there. When I went there, it was frozen solid. I asked my mom if I could hit the ice that froze the lake. She said "Yes, you can." so I found a stick and I hit the lake hard. The stick broke and I threw it on the frozen lake and the stick skidded on the ice. I took a harder stick and that also broke! Then I took this stick that almost had the thickness of a log. I banged the lake with the log stick and it BROKE!! Then we went to the other side of the lake and I found a rock (regular size) and threw it on the lake, and it went sliding off across the ice. It was pretty cool. Then we saw a bunch of ducks and geese. I found one big rock and threw it in the lake. It made a KRRCK noise. Then it made a star shaped hole and the rock went across the lake (above the ice). I found a smaller rock and threw it in the lake. It made a circle but didn't make a hole. I saw some of the geese walking on the ice. "Cool," I said, pointing to the geese. My mom's hands and my hands were freezing when we were walking. The ice on the lake was like a marble floor because it was so hard. THE END
