It was a beautiful day. My friends and I decided to go for a picnic. We took a bus to the countryside. We walked about 20 minutes to the picnic site by the river. We put down the blankets on the ground and laid out the food on it. After the meal, we played games and sang the songs "What song is it?" and played the "blind man's buff". Later in the afternoon, we went fishing in the river. We enjoyed the picnic very much. When we looked at the time, it was nearly 6.30 pm. We hurriedly gathered things and ran to the bus stop. We were lucky to catch the last bus, and we arrive home very late in the evening.
