It's Sunday and the weather is fine, so Mrs. Black says, "Let's go for a picnic."
"Oh, yes!" say Mary and John, her two children.
Mr. Black says, "Yes, let's go to the woods (小树林) and have our picnic there. Good. Help me to get the things ready."
"All right," say the children. John brings a basket of food and some bottles of water. Mary brings a blanket (毯子). Their mother Mrs. Black makes the sandwiches, and Mr. Black puts everything into the car.
Soon everything is ready and they leave the house. When they get to the woods, Mary puts the blanket on the ground. John and Mr. Black take the food out of the car. Father makes a fire (火) and Mother makes tea for everyone.
"Isn't it beautiful here?" says Mother.
"It's very quiet and green." John has a kite and soon he is running with it and flying the kite happily. "Be careful!" Mrs. Black says to him. But it is too late. John falls (摔倒) over the basket of food, and everything is on the ground. "Look!" cries Mary." There are ants (蚂蚁) in the food. There are hundreds of them. The blanket is on an ants' nest (蚂蚁窝). "
