Amy’s Picnic That Blew Away
A big gust of wind takes the picnic away. Can the friends catch it?
It was a lovely sunny day, and Amy the duck, Alba the tiger and Ollie the turtle were having a picnic. They had a big strawberry cake!
But then, WHOOSH! A big gust of wind blew across the meadow. The picnic blanket flew up, up, up, and away went a big strawberry cake!
‘Stop!’ cried Amy. The friends ran after the picnic. They ran over the hill. They ran around the pond. They ran under the big old tree.
Alba jumped and missed. Ollie leapt and landed in a bush. Amy tripped over a log and rolled down the hill, giggling all the way.
Finally, the wind stopped. The picnic blanket drifted down onto the top of the hill, and landed with a soft flop. There was only a little bit left, with grass all over it.
‘It’s a bit squished,’ said Ollie. ‘And a bit leafy,’ said Alba. ‘But it’s still delicious!’ laughed Amy. They shared every crumb together as the sun went down.
