One sunny morning Dropman looked out the window and said:

What a beautiful sunny day!

Littledrop, Droplet.

Why don’t you go for a picnic by the big lake with your new friends?

I’m going to call my Spanish friend, Alvaro, and ask him if his mother can cook a Spanish omelette for our picnic, today.

Mummy! My new friends are calling Can I pick up the phone?

Yes Alvaro! you can.

After agreeing to come, Alvaro asked his mother if she could please cook an omelette for their picnic.

Droplet asked her older brother Littledrop to text all their other friends.

Alvaro said yes. Can you also invite Lucy and Jake, Shuang and Victoria to the picnic? ​
