What is this story about? The daddy bear told mum to put her apron away then they wanted to go on a picnic. So they went off to a picnic place. They picked a place that the mum and dad picked when they were young. But then a train came into the beautiful spot.
So they found another picnic spot – just between some trees. They sat on a bench, then actually it was a big picnic today and everyone came to the picnic and they left because all the people came and there were too many people.
