Lavinia takes Angela, Lucy and Billy on a picnic in the countryside. When they open the picnic hamper, they discover that Old Tom has hidden inside and eaten all the food. Lavinia is horrified, but Lucy suggests they can fish for food in a nearby river. As they look for the river, they are chased by a bull, disturb a beehive and upset a farmer. However, when Old Tom manages to catch some fish by scaring them out of the river, all is forgiven, and the farmer is invited to join their picnic lunch.
