Oh
Johnson liked things to be neat when he was thinking and he liked thinking
So he spent a lot of time cleaning up Michael's room
What shall I think about today there are so many things to think about I don't know where to start
Unfortunately most of the time he never got to think at all there were always interruptions
Thinking can't we do something on board?
Try thinking we tried that it's boring we want to do something exciting. Yeah, what can we do that's exciting Johnson?
You'll have to think of something there. He goes again
thinking I
Know you can go on a picnic
Oh picnic yeah
But it'd be nice if you came to in that case
We'll invite Alfred and squeaky as well
We'll have it by the window and make a proper day of it right I'll ask squeaky and I'll ask
But remember to ask politely
You know how sensitive they are
I'll see you by the window
But what were you doing thinking what else
Lithery blazers what a mess Alfred was cleaning up Michael's room to
Macduff was very polite more polite than she'd ever been in her life
What be a proper picnic without you there no I think a picnics a silly idea, and I'm not going
But why not it'll be lots of fun. Oh because of the ants and flies
Yes, hard things ants and flies. I don't want to go and get eaten alive by ants and flies
They must be very big no they're quite small really besides it always rains at picnics
But it's never rains in Michael's bedroom
You're talking about an outside picnic. This is an inside picnic. There are no ants and flies
Come on you'll enjoy yourself
No no no I'm perfectly happy where I am
Come on you'll be far happier at the picnic
No I won't
Help I'm being kidnapped
Come on Alfred
No
Come on it'll be great fun
I won't
Squeaky was cleaning Michael's wardrobe
Diesel was not polite he couldn't have been polite if he tried
Johnson said you have to come on a picnic. I don't want it. Thank you
Johnson said
If you don't come I'll run all over you and squash you flat
right
Right, you're coming on this picnic whether you like it or not come on
Johnson was already at the picnic ground getting ready for his friends and thinking about all the fun. They're about to have
It was a wonderful idea to organize this picnic it's peaceful by the window thinking
very restful indeed
Johnson
I told you I hate picnics
We're here
I want to go back to my bedroom
I want to go back to the wardrobe
I have never been so insulted in all my life
I have a good mind to report you to the person in charge
Did you ask politely?
If we'd done that they wouldn't have come
Well of course not
Everybody knows I hate traveling and Squeaky here prefers her own company
Can we go now?
Well come along squeaky it's a long way back pity there isn't a bus
Squeaky felt very sad now. She was at the picnic. She wanted to stay
But Duff felt very sad too because she wanted to play with squeaky
Squeaky
Please Squeaky can't you stay? I'm being as polite as I possibly can
Now come on we haven't got all day
I want to go to the picnic
But what about me? You don't expect me to go home all by myself do you?
The picnics ruined Johnson
I wouldn't say that look
Johnson Johnson we're back
And on top of everything no one can make up their minds
What sort of a bedroom is this?
Lithering blazers
Ready set go
After that the picnic went along better than expected
They were running races
I won! I won! What do you think about that?
Alfred won
No peeking
I can't see a thing
Won
They also played blindfolds
Won
I know you're here somewhere
Over here Alfred
No over here Alfred
Later that afternoon they were so exhausted they all had a little nap
At sunset everybody was ready to go home again
It's been a splendid picnic
I really can't remember when I've had a better one
In fact I think that's the first picnic I've ever been on
We must do it again sometime
Only next time you invite me you might be a little more polite
Goodbye thank you for having me
Bye
Bye Squeaky
Bye
Bye Alfred
Well that didn't go too badly did it Macduff?
I'm sure no one else could kidnap toys to a picnic and get away with it
Next time I'll be polite I promise
Me too
Coming Macduff?
Coming Johnson
But Johnson stayed a little longer at the picnic ground
His head was full of thoughts of what a nice day it had been
Of how much he liked his friends
And what a peculiar person Alfred was
I've got so many thoughts going around in my head
I won't have to think for weeks now
