Jack and Lisa were on school holidays, but it hadn't been a fun holidays yet. It had been raining every day!

"Look!" cried Jack, pointing out the window. "Finally the sun is out!"

"Why don't you go on a picnic? You can spend all day outside," suggested Mum.





First they went down to the shed to find Pete.

"हैलो! आज हम कहा जा रहे हैं?" squawked Pete.

"हम पिकनिक के लिए झील की ओर जा रहे हैं।" replied Jack.





"आओ झील की ओर चलते हैं!" squawked Pete. And with a big flap of the wings, he was off leading the way up the path.

"आज गर्मी है। ," said Lisa, wiping her face with her hand. "मैं कुछ पीना चाहती हूं।"

"मुझे भी प्यास लग रही है।" said Jack.
"नीबू का शरबत कहां मिलेगा?"







Suddenly, something large swooped down from the sky towards Lisa.

Lisa screamed, "ओह!! मेरी मदद करो! मदद करो! "





It was a ferocious magpie and she was on the attack. She thought they were too close to her nest.

"क्या हो रहा है? " cried Jack in alarm.

"दूर जाओ!" shouted Jack, flapping his arms around his head as the magpie targeted him.

"मैं तुम सबकी मदद करूंगा! " squawked Pete.

He chased the magpie high up into the tree, while Jack and Lisa disappeared down the path.





They ran and ran and ran until they were out of breath ...

"Slow down!" cried Lisa. "I think we're lost! I can't see the way to the lake any more."

Lisa looked up into the sky and saw Pete flying above.

"रुको, पेटे!" called Lisa.
"हम भटक गए हैं। रास्ता कहां है?
हम सही रास्ते का पता नहीं कर सकते हैं।
"





"मैं तुम्हारे लिए इसका पता लगा सकता हूं। " squawked Pete as he zoomed down through the trees and along the path.

"मेरे पीछे आओ!" he screeched.

"आप धीरे चलें!" puffed Jack.

"हम आप की तरह नहीं उड़ सकते हैं!
हमें झाड़ियों से होकर गुजरना है।
" he called.



"अंततः, झील मिल जाती है!" cried Lisa.



"पेटे, आपकी भरपूर मदद के लिए शुक्रिया!" said Jack.
"कोई बात नहीं।" replied Pete, preening his feathers in embarrassment.



They sat down beside the lake and started to set up their picnic.

First, they started with some fruit. Pete called out as his favourite food appeared out of the backpack ...



"... आड़ू, स्ट्राबेरी, खुबानी, केला, नारंगी ... "



"... चेरी, नाशपाती, अंगूर... "



Pete eyed all the food with interest as it was placed on the picnic blanket.

"मुझे बहुत भूख लगी है। तुम से अनुरोध है कि क्या मैं उसे चख सकता हूं।" he asked, bobbing his head towards a slice of fruit cake.










...............



"इसे मत खाना!" said Lisa, grabbing the cake.

"इस पर चीटियां हैं।" She tried to brush all the ants off. It was difficult.

"चीटियां बहुत भूखी हैं ..." said Jack. "और वे केक जैसी लगती हैं।"

"तुम चिंता मत करो!" squawked Pete. "मुझे केक पसंद है और चीटियां भी पसंद हैं&!"

Lisa raised her eyebrows at Jack. "Ugghhhh!" laughed Jack and Lisa together.

"ब्रेड!" squawked Pete. "क्या तुम्हें वह ब्रेड याद है?"

"हां।" replied Lisa. "मैं यह भूली नहीं हूं।"

Pete happily grabbed a chunk of bread in his beak.



"क्या तुम्हें कोई चीज़ मिला?" asked Jack.

"बिल्कुल! वह यहां है।" replied Lisa as she pulled it out of the backpack.

"कृपया, तुम मुझे एक चाकू दो।" he added.

"शुक्रिया।" mumbled Jack through a mouthful of cheese and bread.

They all ate for a while, chatting and laughing together.

"क्या वह काफी है?" asked Lisa. "क्या आपको और अधिक चाहिए? "

"नहीं ... मेरे पेट में दर्द हो रहा है। शायद यह बहुत ज्यादा था।" said Jack.

"कभी नहीं!" squawked Pete. They all laughed.



They spent the rest of the afternoon climbing trees, exploring and running around.





The sun was starting to get very low in the sky.

"देर हो गयी है।" squawked Pete.

"हां, अब हमें घर चलना चाहिए।" said Jack.

They packed up their things and headed home down the path away from the lake .... tired, happy and not the slightest bit hungry.

Soon they could see the roof of their house through the trees. It was good to be home.

Magpie was happy to be alone again. She was even happier when she discovered some bread they had left behind.
