A picnic in the jungle

It was a fine day for a picnic. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Sam and his friends were going to a jungle to have a picnic there. They brought some bread, drinks and some cookies.

Along the way, they sang and joked with one another. After half an hour, they reached the jungle. They stopped and looked at it with amazement. The trees were growing luxuriantly. The leaves were also green, not yellowish at all. The land must be very fertile.

They ran into the jungle happily. They also shouted heartily. Half way on the journey, Sam suddenly stopped. He pointed to a waterfall. His friends were very excited. They approached the waterfall with greateagerness. The water was crystal clear. They could even see a school of fish.

Suddenly, Sam said to his friends, "Why don't we have a rest here? It is so beautiful, I like this place!"

His friends agreed with him, so, they sat on the rocks and enjoyed the greenery and the magnificent waterfall.

After a while, Tandy, one of Sam's friends felt hungry. He decided to take out his food which was packed by his mother. Sam also took his bread out and the rest of his friends followed suit.

While they were eating, they heard a sound. They wondered what it was. They stopped eating and strained their ears to hear where it was coming from.

A few minutes later, a monkey came out of the bushes. Sam was surprised and dropped his bread to the ground. The monkey ran towards it and ate the bread hungrily. It looked so cute as it tried to gobble the bread.

Tandy, although hungry, decided to give his bread to the monkey after seeing its cuteness. Initially, the monkey was afraid to take the bread. Then, Sam told Tandy to throw the bread to it. Tandy threw it and the monkey caught the bread. Then, the monkey ate it eagerly.

They smiled. More and more slices of bread were given. At that time, it was not only one monkey but five monkeys were already surrounding them. The monkeys picked the bread and ate them greedily.

Sam and his friends watched them eating. Then, he looked at his watch. It showed ten o'clock in the morning. He told his friends it was time to go as at twelve o'clock, they would be having tuition. His friends packed their bags and they left the jungle.

It was their first experience having a picnic in the jungle. All of them really enjoyed the picnic and promised to picnic in that jungle again.
