Spotted: The Band Share One Picnic Blanket
Five friends, one shady tree, and enough fruit for everyone.
Read aloud: The band had a picnic under a tree. Daisy shared the last mango so every friend could have a taste.
The Barnyard Beat spotted a happy day off. The house band sat together on one blanket, under one kind tree. Daisy Stardust packed the fruit. Woolly Riff packed an extra apple, in case a friend was still hungry. Thunder Beats brought oats and waited until everyone had a seat. Henny Keys hummed a tiny thank-you tune. Billy Baa brought clover and a calm smile.
There were no long speeches. There was one last mango. Daisy called it a duet and shared it, piece by piece. Woolly cheered. A little breeze lifted the corner of the blanket, and Thunder held it down with care. Billy nodded, which meant, “This is a good picnic.”
It was a simple day. Shade, fruit, and friends who were glad to share. The smallest birds finished the crumbs, and the band did not mind at all.
