Sample Answer:

Hey, you won’t believe what I’m seeing at the park right now! There’s a group of squirrels actually building a miniature treehouse. They’re working together, carrying little planks of wood, and even using tiny tools like hammers and nails! It looks like they’re constructing a full-on house in the tree. It’s the funniest and most unusual sight—squirrels behaving like humans, building something so detailed and organized. I can’t believe my eyes! People walking by are stopping to watch, taking pictures, and laughing at how bizarre yet impressive it is. Have you ever seen anything like this before? It’s as if these squirrels have turned into little carpenters! You’ve got to come and see this for yourself—it’s definitely not something you see every day!
