The empty picnic table
A light wind picked up and carried leftover crumbs, gently laying them on a crisp brown sycamore leaf
The ants were busy carrying away bits of sausage, rolled in pastry which flaked off as they ran
A robin watched on excitedly until a squirrel grabbed the sausage roll and stuffed it in his cheek
Not despondent the ants spied the sycamore leaf and its contents
Remains of a ham and cheese sandwich flew in the magpies mouth to the nearest branch
The robin amused itself by watching a sycamore leaf racing across the grass before it finished off the fallen pastry flakes
The picnic table was now empty
