"Food really tastes good cooked over an open fire,"
Lloyd remarked as he took another bite of his hot dog.
"It sure does," replied Fred. "I wish
this weren't the last night of our camping trip, but school starts next
week. "
A couple of days after returning home, Lloyd and Fred
took the exposed film out of their camera and took it to the camera shop
to be developed. They were told that the pictures would be ready Thursday.
Thursday was just two days away. Fred and Lloyd could hardly wait to see
how their pictures came out. They planned to show their pictures to everyone
at school as soon as school was back in session.
Fred and Lloyd felt very pleased when they showed their
teacher the pictures they had taken on their vacation. She said that they
were some of the most interesting pictures she had seen.
