Mia was feeling down after she failed her driving test. To cheer her up, her best friend Lily suggested they go for a hike in the nearby hills.

The weather was perfect and the scenery was breathtaking. As they were walking, they saw a beautiful waterfall in the distance. Without a second thought, they decided to take a detour and explore it.

They followed a narrow path that led them to the base of the waterfall. The water was crystal clear and the sound of it crashing against the rocks was soothing. It was a sight to behold, and Mia couldn't help but smile at the beauty of it all.
