A Picnic in the Country
A
week ago the Smiths family went for a picnic in the country. It was only early
spring, so they thought it was too cold to go to the seaside. Mrs. Smith
packed a large basket of food and David put it in the back of the car.
They
set off early after breakfast and drove about 30 miles into the country
until they came to the woods. The sun was shining brightly and the ground was
dry. Susan put the blanket on the ground, so that they could sit on the grass.
David took the food out of the car.
Mr.
Smith made a fire and Mrs. Smith made tea. “Isn’t it beautiful here?”
said Mrs. Smith. “It’s very quiet and green”. David had a kite, and soon
he was running across the grass with it. “Be careful”, shouted his mother, but
it was too late! David fell over the basket of food and everything fell out.
“Look!” cried Susan. “There are ants in the food!” Yes, there were.
There were hundreds of them. The blanket was on the ants’ nest!
