Susan and the camping trip: part two

Susan sat outside of the tent, staring gloomily at the trees. They had been camping for a day, and she was ready to go home. There were so many bugs in the woods. Bugs and mud and icky tree sap. Worse of all, she had to share a tent with Tiffany!
Susan narrowed her eyes as she saw her cousin heading toward her. "What?" She asked with a frown.
Tiffany rubbed her forearm. "I was wondering if you wanted to go on a short hike with me." Tiffany said quietly. "I know of this place you might like."
Susan fought the urge to roll her eyes. A place she might like? Not in the woods!
Tiffany shifted, her eyebrows wrinkling. "Please? My Dad says I can't go if you don't come."
Leaning her head back, Susan gave a sigh. "Fine."
Tiffany's eyes widened as she offered a small smile. "Thank you."
So after filling their water bottles, the two cousins headed into the trees. Susan followed behind Tiffany, waving her hand to swat at bugs. The path they took was a simple dirt trail that weaved between trees and around bushes.
"How much farther?" Susan asked after they had be hiking for five minutes. Tiffany glanced back to her cousin. "We're almost there."
They reached a fork in the path. Tiffany turned right; onto a narrow path littered with rocks. "The left path looks easier." Susan said as she looked at the fairly flat path. Tiffany looked at the left path, then shook her head. "The left path leads to a meadow, but it's a long hike." Tiffany said. Susan looked at the left path for a moment longer, then gave a sigh and followed Tiffany down the right path.
The path remained narrow for a couple of minutes. Then it suddenly widened, and Susan came to a halt. They were at a pond. A family of ducks began quacking at their appearance and glided across the water to the far side of the pond.
"Aunt Clara told me that you like to swim." Tiffany said slowly as she turned to look at Susan. "If you would like, we could come back later and swim."
Susan studied her cousin for a moment, then offer her a smile. "That might be fun." She said. As Tiffany returned the smile, Susan decided that maybe camping wouldn't be a bad as she had thought.
