About this story

Momo the cow plans a hilltop picnic with her friends, but the cart rolls away while she fetches water. She wrongly blames Squirrel and says sorry, then follows the basket down the river, where three chicks have climbed inside. The friends pull together to rescue them. The food is soggy and Momo is disappointed, but everyone shares what they have, and the picnic by the river turns out to be the best part of the day.
