THE ORIGINAL STORY
The Wilsons wanted to go on a picnic on a sunny day. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson prepared the picnic basket
and their children, Eric and Emily, put their ball and sneakers in their backpacks. Then, they got into the
car and departed. They listened to music and sang songs in the car. Emily took photos on the backseat.
After a while, they arrived at the picnic site. The children played with the ball while Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
were preparing the picnic table. They had a great time there. In the evening, they returned home. A few
moments later, their neighbor, Tom, came to the Wilsons with a box in his hands. He said, “This box is for
you, Mr. Wilson.” and went away. At first, Mr. Wilson didn’t understand anything, but when he opened
the box, he became really embarrassed because Tony had collected the Wilsons’ rubbish left at the
picnic site and brought them to the Wilsons.
