Vicki and her friends decided to start their own Clean Up Countryside Society. The girls had another meeting the next day. Vicki offered to watch for rubbish dumpers. Everybody agreed and soon Rosie and Jane noticed some picnickers. The picnickers were finishing their lunch and they left all their rubbish on the ground. The girls asked what the picnickers were going to do with the litter. A tall man with an American accent said he did not know what Vicki meant, but a woman with a little hat on said that the young lady (she called Vicki like that) was right. The woman said they couldn't leave the rubbish there. Vicki gave them a bag to put the rubbish in. The woman thanked the girls for helping them understand that the country was a beautiful place.
