And Lancelot knelt down and took the king’s beloved hand in both of his and kissed it. “Good night, my liege lord, my liege friend,” he said, and then stumbled blindly from the room and felt his way down the curving stone steps past the arrow slits.

As he came to the level of the next landing, Guinevere issued silently from a darkened entrance. He could see her in the thin light from the arrow slit. She took his arm and led him to her dark chamber and closed the oaken door.

“A strange thing happened,” she said softly.

Prepare a speech in about 100 words, encouraging your schoolmates to follow certain rules when they go for excursions so as to keep our picnic spots clean and attractive. You can take the help of the hints given below. Use of bags to dispose of wrappers –-- leave no waste ---- use public dustbins ----- avoid carrying disposables etc.

Answers

Dear friends.

I believe that we are all young, educated, civilized and in full control of our mental faculties. In addition, I know that we are all concerned with maintaining the environment around us and the reputation of our school, which is one of our great responsibilities. However, I believe that we should never fail to mention some rules and guidelines that should be carried out by people like us during our picnics, during school trips.

Override these rules, I would like to highlight the most important ones, which I urge you to remember and follow by everyone. First of all, we must throw all the garbage produced by us in the appropriate places for this and not leave any kind of residue in the places we use to feed ourselves, this will allow a clean and pleasant environment. We must also avoid carrying disposables and avoid excessive noises that may disturb people outside our social cycle. Last, but not least, we must not feed animals that eventually appear, in addition to not disturbing the nature around us.

I believe that everyone understands the importance of these rules, which guarantees the execution, willingly, of them.
