Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic on the road，so We had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time，we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute. We thought it was a nice place for a picnic，so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip!
