	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. "안녕! 우리 오늘 어디로 갈 거야?" squawked Pete.
"우리는 피크니크 하러 호수로 가는 거야," replied Jack.
	"호수로 가자!" squawked Pete. And with a big flap of the wings, he was off leading the way up the path.
"더워," said Lisa, wiping her face with her hand. "뭘 좀 마셔 야 하는데 ." "나도 목 말라 ," said Jack. "레모네이드가 어디 있지?"
Suddenly, something large swooped down from the sky towards Lisa. Lisa screamed, "아야!! 날 도와줘! 살려줘!"
It was a ferocious magpie and she was on the attack. She thought they were too close to her nest.
"무슨일이야?" cried Jack in alarm. "가버려!" shouted Jack, flapping his arms around his head as the magpie targeted him. "도와줄께!" 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. "피트, 그만날아!" called Lisa. "우리 길을 잃어버렸다! 길이 어디냐? 우리 못찾겠다."
	"난 찾아 줄 수 있어!" squawked Pete as he zoomed down through the trees and along the path. "따라와!" he screeched.
"속도 좀 줄여줘!" puffed Jack. "우리 너처럼 날아갈 수가 없어! 숲속으로 가야 돼," he called.
"저기 호수다! 드디어!" cried Lisa.
"피트, 많이 도와줘서 고마워!" said Jack. "별말씀을," 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 ...
"... 복숭아 하나, 딸기들, 살구들, 바나나 하나, 오렌지 하나 ..."
"... 체리들, 배 하나, 보도들 ..."
Pete eyed all the food with interest as it was placed on the picnic blanket. "너무 배고파. 먹어 봐도 돼?" he asked, bobbing his head towards a slice of fruit cake.
...............	"그걸 먹지 마!" said Lisa, grabbing the cake. "그건 온통 개미잖아." She tried to brush all the ants off. It was difficult. "개미들이 배고파 …" said Jack. "게다가 케이크를 좋아하네." "걱정마!" squawked Pete. "나는 케이크를 좋아하고 개미도 좋아해!" Lisa raised her eyebrows at Jack. "Ugghhhh!" laughed Jack and Lisa together.
"어, 맞다! 빵…" squawked Pete. "빵 가져왔어?" "응," replied Lisa. "잊지 않았어." Pete happily grabbed a chunk of bread in his beak.
"치즈 있어?" asked Jack. "그럼! 여기 있어," replied Lisa as she pulled it out of the backpack. "칼 좀 줘," he added. "고마워," mumbled Jack through a mouthful of cheese and bread. They all ate for a while, chatting and laughing together.
"그만큼 충분하겠니?" asked Lisa. "더 먹을래?" "아니... 나 배아파. 너무 많이 먹었나봐," said Jack. "전혀!" 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. "늦었어," squawked Pete. "네, 우리 이제 집에 가야지," 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.
