It was a summer. After a 33-kilometre cycling, my cousin Gabriel and I were ____1____. We planned to get lunch and then ____2____ back to Valence, where I was spending my holiday with Gabriel’s family.
We bought a baguette. As we ate, I noticed a girl in a queue smiling to us.
I met her again when she sat on a bench, enjoying her bread in front of a riverboat named Voyageur. Soon she boarded the boat. Then I noticed a colourful handbag on the ____3____. The girl had left it!
She was on the upper deck (甲板)! I held up the bag and ____4____ it to get her attention. When she noticed the bag, she opened her mouth ____5____. But her face fell—the boat started to pull away from the dock (码头).
“We can ____6____ it! The boat’s next stop is Valence!” Gabriel came up.
“Great! But do you think we can ____7____ ?” I asked.
Gabriel laughed. “We’re going to find out!”
We set off. It was a race now: ____8____ against the boat. If the boat beat us to Valence, we might ____9____ have the chance to give back the bag.
Pedaling hard, we quickly caught up to the Voyageur. When the boat disappeared ____10____ us, we felt confident enough to relax our pace.
Then it happened: pffft! Flat tire (轮胎漏气)! My heart sank.
We had to stop and took out tools when the Voyageur was coming near. I saw the girl again. She noticed our ____11____ and shook her head sadly.
After a quick ____12____, we were back on our way. The boat pulled ahead. We watched ____13____ as the boat disappeared around a bend.
Finally we arrived, ____14____ the Voyageur had docked. We failed!
Gabriel suddenly shouted, “I see her!”
The girl was strolling towards us! “You followed my boat!” she smiled.
“No, your boat followed us,” I ____15____. “Until I got a flat tire, that is.” I handed her the bag.1.1.
