A Wonderful Life
I hear birds chirp as I open my eyes, a gentle breeze caresses my face. The sky is blue, free from clouds. I stretch my legs and prepare for my day ahead. Vibrant flowers surround me, swaying in the wind. Towering trees enclose the area; the bright, warm sun peeks through their leaves. Butterflies soar through the air, occasionally landing on the unusual, rich-coloured bushes and flowers. The gentle sway of the flora can be heard all around.
Up in the trees, the birds thrive. Mothers feeding their newborns, others attempting to fly. Squirrels run about, their bushy tails weaving through branches. A feeling of peace encases the area.
My stomach begins to rumble, its time to forage for food. I sniff around, looking for sweet delights. In the corner of my eye, I see deep purple berries. I dash over to them and inspect them. Slowly opening my mouth to bite into them, their flavours exploding in my mouth. They're the nicest berries I've ever eaten. I quickly devour them all.
I hop about, taking in the smells and sounds around me. The day is hot, and my tongue is dry, I wander towards the glistening lake. Ducks glide on the clear water, ripples appearing as they move. I dip my mouth into the lake and begin to drink. I feel refreshed.

I look up to see the orange skies, it's almost time to sleep. I scan the area for a comfortable place to rest. I make my way over to a tree with a cavity in its base. I squeeze my way in, it's just big enough to fit me. I lay in a ball, looking out at the other animals, birds returning to their nests and squirrels climbing up their trees. The sun sets and my eyes begin to shut. What a wonderful day to be alive.

Revved-Up Polish Assets Dip as Election Erodes Pro-EU Tilt
(Bloomberg) -- Polish stocks and bonds — among the world's stand-out performers of 2025 — dipped after a nationalist unexpectedly won the presidential election, dealing a blow to the government. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months Investors are concerned that the victory by the resurgent right, which has been emboldened by Donald Trump, may unravel Poland's pro-European Union tilt — impacting both fiscal and monetary policy and imperiling the rally in the nation's assets. Warsaw stocks slumped 3.4% on Monday before recouping about half of the losses, while the sovereign's dollar bonds were among the biggest losers in emerging markets. The zloty weakened 0.2% against the euro, trading in the middle of a pack of 31 major currencies. Now, traders will be watching how Prime Minister Donald Tusk works with incoming President Karol Nawrocki, which will dictate where the Polish 'risk premium lands,' according to Adnan El-Araby, a fund manager at Barings Emerging EMEA Opportunities. 'The outcome of the elections might harm the positive sentiment of this year, but there are always well managed companies that have the ability to grow earnings,' he said. 'We now have to be more selective.' Nawrocki, a conservative historian and former boxer, won 50.9% of Sunday's runoff ballot, while centrist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski took 49.1%, according to unofficial tallies from the electoral commission. More Downside Henrik Gullberg, a macro strategist at Coex Partners, said the market-leading performances by Polish stocks and the zloty mean there's more downside to a Nawrocki win than upside had Trzaskowski come through. Poland's WIG20 equity index traded 2.1% lower as of 1 p.m. in Warsaw, with banks leading the selloff. The gauge was up 40% in dollar terms this year as of Friday's close, one of the strongest rallies globally. 'A Nawrocki win is thought to revive tensions with Brussels, stall judicial reforms, and therefore jeopardize access to over €130 billion ($148 billion) in crucial EU funding,' Gullberg said. The yield on benchmark 10-year local-currency government bonds increased 11 basis points to 5.47% on Monday. The asset class had returned nearly 16% in dollars since December — the best performance among developing markets after Brazil and Mexico until just before the ballot. Poland's fiscal deficit is front and center for investors. At more than 6% of economic output it's the largest in the EU after Romania's. Election-campaign promises risk further deepening the budget hole. The election 'will hinder the implementation of necessary reforms and may favor the maintenance of an excessively loose fiscal policy,' said Piotr Bujak, chief economist at PKO Bank Polski SA. This 'may worry foreign investors,' he said. Thwarted Agenda Tusk's agenda has been largely thwarted by the outgoing president, who, like Nawrocki, is backed by the opposition Law & Justice party. The election of a more radical successor could exacerbate the paralysis. 'It is feared that this stalemate will continue,' Commerzbank AG currency analysts Michael Pfister and Charlie Lay said. 'Similarly, the disbursement of EU funds, from which Poland has benefited significantly in recent years, is likely to be further delayed,' given the conflict between Law & Justice and the EU Commission. Piotr Matys, a strategist at In Touch Capital Markets Ltd., said the result creates the risk 'that Tusk's coalition may collapse, leading to early general elections,' which would otherwise be due in 2027. The premier, who will have a televised address at 8 p.m., may call a parliamentary vote of confidence in his cabinet, reported Monday. The ballot could also make Polish policymakers more reluctant to extend interest-rate cuts, according to economists at Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Inc. and Banco Santander SA. Derivatives used to wager on Polish interest rate levels ticked higher, signaling bets on less easing this year. State Assets Minister Jakub Jaworowski, who oversees the government's controlling stakes in seven of the companies in the WIG20 index, said Nawrocki's victory will prolong a period of 'elevated instability.' 'It has been difficult, but it will be now even harder,' he told a financial congress in Sopot, northern Poland, on Monday. He vowed to continue with the government's agenda focused on improving corporate governance and building shareholder value. --With assistance from Matthew Burgess, Joanna Ossinger, Maciej Martewicz, Andras Gergely, Peter Laca, Piotr Bujnicki and Agnieszka Barteczko.

Mom-to-Be Packs Hospital Bag, Hysterics over What Dog Does Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After packing her hospital bag, a mom-to-be has shared the adorable item her dog couldn't let her leave without. Before heading to the hospital to welcome her first child, TikTok user @ashleysavv packed her overnight bag in readiness. She included all the essentials for herself and the baby, but as it turns out, there was one item that she very nearly forgot to pack. Luckily, her dog Oakley was on hand to help her out. Indeed, Ashley shared a hilarious video on TikTok of Oakley lying beside the suitcase and looking very proud of his vital addition. As the camera panned over to the luggage, it showed the dog's orange ball wedged into the bag. Oakley certainly couldn't let his owner leave without it, after all. Layered over the video, the caption reads: "packing our hospital bags and seeing he added his ball." Internet users can't cope with Oakley's important contribution to the hospital bag, and the video has gone viral on TikTok. In just a matter of days, it has already amassed more than 935,200 views and over 253,900 likes at the time of writing.

Unaihuiziphotography/Getty Images Newsweek has contacted @ashleysavv via Instagram for comment. We could not verify the details of the video. While it seems that Oakley is already happy to share his toys with the newest addition, there may still be need for an adjustment period following the major life change. The American Kennel Club (AKC) suggests that dogs need mental and physical space to figure out the new dynamic. It's important to take things slowly and have patience. Dogs may be excited about having a new buddy at first, but the novelty can wear off when they realize the baby is noisy and doesn't know how to throw a ball. That's why the AKC recommends creating small moments of success by planning out their encounters and rewarding positive interactions. Dogs should also have a place to call their own, such as a crate or a bed. If the baby gets too much for the pup or they want to retreat somewhere quiet, they need a sanctuary that's just for them. Notably, the AKC says that owners should not expect a finished product from the beginning. Bonds take a while to develop, and a dog needs time to get accustomed to no longer being the only baby of the house. Since the video went viral on TikTok showing that "big brother Oakley is ready" for the new arrival, it has generated over 600 comments already. Internet users can't get enough of his adorable addition to the hospital bag and insisted he was trying to help. One comment reads: "He's looking at the bag like, I'm coming too, right???" Another TikTok user wrote: "he's wishing you good luck with his favorite ball." Another person joked: "he's going with you, and he'll need something to occupy himself with. Obviously." While one commenter added: "Already sharing his toys! Sweet baby!" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
