当她们到达公园时，她从篮子里拿出了面包。这是喂给在池塘里游泳的鸭子吃的面包！“早上好，鸭子！”珍妮说，她把面包扔进池塘里给鸭子吃。

“Quack5， quack，” answered the ducks. They started swimming toward Jenny！There were black ducks， brown ducks and ducks with green rings on their necks. They ate all of the bread that Jenny threw into the water.

“嘎嘎，嘎嘎。”鸭子回答。它们开始向珍妮游过去，有黑鸭、棕鸭和脖子上有绿环的鸭子。它们吃掉了珍妮扔入水中的所有面包。

“Im here Carol，” Jenny said. “What else is in the basket？”

“我在这里，卡罗尔。”珍妮说，“篮子里还有什么？”

“Youll see，” Carol said and started to take things out of the brown basket. First came sandwiches that had lettuce6 and tomatoes on a piece of meat. Then Carol took out carrots and corns. Next， Carol brought apples out. Last out came good， cold milk.

“你会看到的。”卡罗尔说，然后开始把东西从棕色的篮子里拿出来。首先是一块肉上面放了生菜和西红柿的三明治。然后，卡罗尔取出胡萝卜和玉米。接下来，卡罗尔把苹果拿出来。最后拿出来的是优质冷牛奶。

“Great，” shouted Jenny clapping7 her hands. “Were going to have a picnic！ What a good surprise！”
