A PICNIC

Last Sunday the students of our class had a picnic at Naraj. 

It is about twenty kilometers from Cuttack. 

Here the Kathjori flows away from the Mahanadi. 

We went there by boat and reached the place at about 10 a.m. 

We had taken rice and vegetables with us and got plenty of fish there. 

Our cook selected a nice spot near the water to do the cooking. 

We collected firewood from the hillside and helped him to make the fire. 

Some of us went up the hill to see the caves and the others played cards or sang songs. 

When the food was ready, we sat in a circle and ate it from banana leaves. 

We came back to Cuttack late in the evening in a cheerful mood.
