As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelt good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the camp fire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they pet out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleepingbags were warm and fortable, so they all slept soundly.

It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent!我的妹妹只有7歲，但她總能說出我的畫是好還是壞。它們就是些好看的圖案，我們喜愛它們就像我們喜歡漂亮的窗簾布一樣。有很多人裝成很懂現(xiàn)代藝術的樣子，總是告訴你一幅畫的“意思”是什么。 I looked at it again.

I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built during the war, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use.
