A SPOILED PICNIC
The Browns had been planning a picnic in a picturesque place for the whole summer. When finally Mr. Brown had a day off and the weather was fine, the family decided to go on a holiday of a lifetime. But grandmother tried to persuade them not to go, “If I were you,” she said, “I (1.NOT GO). It might rain today.” The children were looking forward to having a picnic and nothing could stop them.
However, on the way to the forest the Browns realized that dark clouds (2.APPEAR) in the sky and the wind (3.BLOW) quite strongly. In few minutes it started raining heavily. “If it (4.GO ON) like that, we’ll get stuck in the mud,” Mr. Brown thought. Soon his worst expectations came true. The family got out of the car and desperately tried to push it, but it didn’t move. The rain was pouring and all of them were soaking wet. “I wish we (5.BE) home!” cried little Anny. “I wish we (6.GO) on the picnic at all,” Sam added.
Luckily, there was a passing car and it pulled the Browns’ car out of the mud. Unfortunately, the day was spoiled and the family had to return home. When they got there, all wet through, grandmother met them with words, “If you had listened to me, you (7.GET) into troubles.”

Given that after the Holocaust, we had the Mao cultural revolution, Pol Pot, Rwanda, the North Korean famine, the Yugoslav wars, etc. all of them killed millions of people.
I also think that the idea of mechanizing murder, as we saw with Nazi Germany, could happen again. It only needs a huge amount of hate, a gullible population, and a finger to point. People will do terrible things when they believe that what they are doing is fair.
