Picnic Day
Mia and her family planned a picnic day in the park. They packed sandwiches, fruit, and drinks in a big basket. When they arrived at the park, Mia noticed a large, shady tree near the playground. "Let's set up our picnic blanket under that tree," suggested Mia's mom.
As they enjoyed their picnic, Mia's dad suggested playing a game of frisbee. Mia and her brother eagerly agreed. They took turns tossing the frisbee back and forth, laughing and running around.
