A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. 

A car drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of 

young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, 

transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, 

turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, 

birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long 

night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they 

see? Gas and oil spilled on the grass. Old spark plugs and 

old filters strewn around. Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a 

monkey wrench left behind. Oil slicks on the pond. And of 

course, the usual mess—apple cores, candy wrappers, 

charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s 

handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, 

faded flowers picked in another meadow.
