My mom told me a story that was about the school picnic. At that time, schools didn’t have a field day. The biggest day for them was School Picnic Day.
School Picnic Day was usually held on the last day of school in June. On that day, kids played simple games. No one cared who won or who lost.
Before the school picnic, parents always packed picnic baskets for the kids. They filled them with a lot of good food.
There was a poor family. They had no picnic lunch that year. When my mom noticed this, she tried to help them.
Just then, the teacher said there was going to be one final race before lunch. It was the sack race, in which two people get inside a sack and hop as fast as they can to the finish line. The winner would receive a special lunch basket.
My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the eldest sister of the poor family, stand up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed. My mom went out of her way to make Mary win.
Later, Mary came and thanked my mom for being her partner. She said that her brothers and sisters really enjoyed the picnic lunch. According to mom, it was the best school picnic in the whole world.
