　　A Picnic in the Countryside

　　Last week, we went to the countryside to have a picnic. We bought some sandwiches, fruit and water to take with us for lunch. We started out quite early before there was too much traffic. After 2 hours of driving, we came to a nice place, it was the ford of a hill and near a river with some large trees beside it. As it was a very hot day, we parked the car under a big tree, and went for a swim in the river, the water was refreshing. After having a swim, we had lunch in the cool shade under the trees. Then we went for a walk, we saw some beautiful birds and butterflies. After walking for about an hour, we returned to the car, however, we couldn’t get the car to start. Finally we had to push the car to the road and wait for help. Of course, the car breaking down spoiled our picnic in the end.
