Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom, all the animals could talk. One day, the horse, fish, cow, dog, chicken, frog, duck, cat, bird and sheep decided to have a picnic. They wanted to see who could bring the most delicious food.

The horse brought apples, the fish brought sushi, the cow brought milk, the dog brought bones, the chicken brought eggs, the frog brought flies, the duck brought bread, the cat brought mice, the bird brought seeds and the sheep brought wool.

When they sat down to eat, the horse took a bite of the fish's sushi and said, "This is great! How did you catch it?" The fish replied, "I didn't catch it, I was it!"

Everyone laughed and the picnic became even more fun. The dog and cat started chasing each other, trying to catch a mouse, while the bird flew overhead, dropping seeds on everyone. The sheep tried to catch some flies too, but kept sneezing because of their wool.

The picnic was so much fun that the animals decided to have one every month. And they lived happily ever after.
