■ The Tortoises’ Picnic ■

There were once three tortoises — a father, a mother and a baby. And one fine spring day they were 1._____ by the idea that they would like to go for a picnic. They began to get their stuff together. They got tins of salmon and tins of tongue, and sandwiches, and orange squash, and everything they could think of. In about three months they felt 2._____ that they were ready, and they set out, carrying their baskets.

They walked and walked and crossed a field and then 3._____ a hill and after about eighteen months they sat down and 4._____ against a big oak tree to have a rest. The three of them 5._____ in the sunshine for a while. But since it wasn’t the place where they wanted to go, they set out again. And in three years they reached the picnic place — a lovely meadow with a fast-flowing bubbling stream and a green wood in the 6._____. They unpacked their baskets and spread out the cloth, and arranged the food on it and it looked great.

Then Mother Tortoise began to look into the picnic baskets. “We’ve forgotten the tin opener!” she cried. They looked at each other, and at last Father and Mother said, “Baby, you’ll have to go back for it.” “What!” 7._____ the baby, “Me! Go back all that long way!” “We can’t start without a tin opener,” said Father in such a tone that the 8._____ baby immediately understood that he had better go. He knew his father’s fiery 9._____ only too well. “We’ll wait for you,” Mother said trying to comfort Baby. “Do you promise faithfully,” said Baby who was 10._____ to mistrust people, “that you won’t touch a thing till I come back?” “Yes, we promise faithfully,” they said and Baby plodded away, and after a while he was lost to sight among the bushes.

And Father and Mother waited. A whole year went by and they began to feel hungry. But they’d promised, so they waited. Another year passed and another, and they got ravenous. “It’s six years now,” said Mother Tortoise 11._____ about Baby’s long absence. “He ought to be back by now.” “Yes, I suppose he ought,” said Father Tortoise. “Let’s just have one sandwich while we’re waiting.” They picked up the sandwiches, but just as they were going to eat them, a little voice said, “Aha! I knew you’d cheat.” And Baby Tortoise popped his head out of a bush. “It’s a good thing I didn’t start for that tin opener,” he said.
