A picnic sounded great, but his wife and stepchildren disagreed. So he went on his own, and soon he was joined by unwelcome creatures.

Did you have a 'slow' friend? Would you exploit his weaknesses? I hope not; accidents can happen. Some people should grow up, as this short story points out. A man has a plan to take over a Thai restaurant, but that was never going to happen. He picked on the wrong people.
