The Perfect Picnic
It was a bright, sunny day.
“Let’s go on a picnic,”said Father.
“Oh, boy!” said Andy.
“I’ll get the carrot cake,”
said Mother.
“I’ll get my kite!” said Andy.
“I’ll pack up the forks
and plates,” said Father.
“I’ll get a blanket,”said Roxy.
“And I’ll get my soccer ball!”
said Andy.
“I’ll take my boat, my scooter,
and my bear!” said Andy.
“What other things should I bring?”
“All we need is a snack
and a sunny day.
And you!” said Father.
Mother, Father, Roxy, and Andy
started to walk to the park.
But they didn’t get very far.
“I can’t carry all this,” said Andy.
“Can you help me, Roxy?”
“No, I can’t help,” said Roxy.
“We are all carrying things
for the picnic.”
Andy sat down.
“Picnics are too much work,”
he said. “I don’t want to go.”
“But the rest of us want to go!”
said Roxy.
“Come on, Andy,” said Roxy.
“Please? You can choose
what we bring.”
“Let’s leave all this stuff here,”
said Andy.
“Okay!” said Roxy.
“Let’s just bring the carrot cake.”
“Okay,” said Andy.
“We can bring the cake.”
“And the plates and forks,”
said Father.
“Okay,” said Andy.
“And it would be nice to sit
on the blanket,” said Mother.
“Okay,” said Andy.
“But that’s all we need.”
Mother, Father, Roxy, and Andy
went to the park.
“This is so much fun!”said Roxy.
“And I chose what to bring!”
said Andy.
Father said, “It’s a perfect picnic.
We have a snack and a sunny day.”
“And me!” Andy shouted.
“And you,” said Father.“And that is
all we need.”
