On Friday, we were all very excited when we heard we were going for a picnic to Chandrabani.

On Sunday, we got into the bus and set off on our journey.
As we were going out of the school gates, we asked Miss Meisenheimer if we could sing, but she said, “No, you cannot sing until we are out of town.”

Later, when we were out of town, we were about to sing when Mr. Kuriyan told us not to sing until we reached the bridge. We were not sad because the bridge was only about 3 furlongs away. 

When we came to the bridge, we at once started singing, “Lare Lappa”, “Mein Jhoot boleya” etc.

Soon we reached Chandrabani.

At first, I was afraid to go into the water. But later on, I joined in the fun.
After a long time, I saw the boys who had gone fishing coming back for their fruit. I also had my fruit and dived into the water.

After a long time, we decided to have lunch. The lunch was very delicious. 

After about half an hour’s rest we were again allowed to play in the water. 
This time, we had the most fun of the day. We played at ‘life-savers’. I, not knowing how to swim, was on the sailors’ side. 

After playing a long time in the water we had tea.

As we were having tea, Krishna Pal asked Mr. Kuriyan if we could play in the water but he said we could not.

After tea we packed up our belongings and left for school.

When I went to bed, I said to myself, “What a nice picnic, I enjoyed myself “
