Father: Sure. Tell me, where shall we go?

Mary: Some place nearby but for at least two days.

Father: Hmm… I think we should go to the reserved forest nearby.

Mary: Yeah. I’ve never been to a forest. I have seen a forest only on the TV and movies. The forest is a good choice!

Father: OK. If we are going to the forest, we must list out what we should carry with us for two days.

Mary: I think we should carry suitable clothes like daily wear for 2 days.

Father: What about the food? Do you have any idea, Mary?

Mary: Yeah. For food, I suggest Rotis, chappathis, bread, butter and jam.

Father:. Don’t you think we need First-aid kit and medicines required?

Mary: Yes, of course. We must also arrange proper transport and safe accommodation.
