1.

The day was too nice to do nothing at all. Janine and Hilary set out to hear a concert in the park. They made a picnic dinner. They prepared several different kinds of food. Then they packed everything up and left for the park.

2.

Though they had a lot of things to carry and the trip to the park was long, it was worth it. They knew that their favorite musician would be playing. Besides, they arrived with time to spare. They found a good place to sit and waited for the concert.

3.
