The day of MacDonald Farm\u2019s Annual Picnic starts out sunny and bright, but now the rain is pouring down in soaking torrents.\u00a0 Still, farm spirit shines, so even though the football field is flooding, the two Tug-of-War teams assemble at the appointed time at the goal line, in front of Paddington Theodore Wack, the newly elected mayor.\u00a0 One side\u2019s captain is Mick the Moose and the other side\u2019s captain is Bill the Bull. \u00a0Paddington tweets on his shiny silver whistle and the teams start trying to grip the plastic yellow rope as they slip and slide in the thickening muck.\u00a0 After about five minutes of struggle and failure, both captains approach the referee.\u00a0 Mick says, \u2018Rope\u2019s just slick slack, Paddy Wack, let\u2019s blow this boggy zone.\u201d<\/p>\n
