Fine afternoon

a story: fine afternoon

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, Suzy decided to take her little baby brother Zack to the backyard for a fruit picnic. So she made a big mess in the kitchen cutting up fruits such as apples, strawberries (which are Suzy's favourite), some bananas, oranges, blueberries, kiwifruit, and green and purple grapes. They packed all their pieces of fruit into Suzy's red plastic toy picnic basket, and brought their soft duvet as a picnic blanket to sit on, as a duvet is much more comfortable than a normal picnic mat. They sat in the soil where the flower plantations grew, and as they sat and ate they realised that they were not alone. Within about thirty minutes of settling down, they felt a very strong presence around them. Suzy looked around, turning her head from left to right, and checking behind her, she held little Zack's hand as she checked all around. Sure enough, they had been surrounded, by many many insects! There were about ten times one dozen of them around, and they were edging closer. Suzy leaned in closer to see them, and discovered they were really closer than she had thought! For on her little container of strawberries there sat five ladybirds, and crawling through the apples were green catipillars, amongst the bluberries little spiders were beginning to spin their webs, and settling on the green grapes were praymantises, who were chasing and eating up the dandy long legs that were hiding amongst the purple grapes. They were in insects kingdom! And with wasps and bees buzzing around sucking the polland from the flowers, and ants crawling into the warm feathers inside their flat duvet, they felt like they had intruded into another world. However, though Suzy was a tiny bit scared, Zack seemed right at home, he loved the little things crawling onto his body, they were cute and very exquisit. So Suzy decided that for her brother's sack, she would stay, she would stay and share her delicious pieces of packed fruit with the little insects, for it was really the least she could do for invading into their extraordinary insect kingdom.
