(The four teenagers have just finished the picnic. They are tidying up.)
Benny: Wow! That was a great picnic. I'm so full that I can hardly move.
Grace: That's no excuse for not tidying up, Benny. Come over here and help me pack up the leftover food. Peter, can you put out the fire, please? And clean up the plate.
Peter: (Speaking unhappily to himself) How can I always get the dirty and difficult jobs?
It's not fair.

Susie: (Sounding surprised) What are you doing, Peter? That's d…
Peter: Whoops…the newspaper has caught fire.
Susie: And the grass… Benny, Grace, help! Help!
(Benny and Grace come over quickly. They help put out the fire completely.)
Peter: Oh, no. What have I done?
Grace: You know that we should do everything carefully, don't you?
Peter: (With his head in his hands) Yes. What have I done? What have I done?
