Text{{/B}} After lunch, without permission from their parents, the two boys set off to explore the part of the beach which {{U}}(26) {{/U}} by the headland. They had {{U}}(27) {{/U}} their young sister to {{U}}(28) {{/U}}, saying that the long walk would be {{U}}(29) {{/U}} tiring for her. Once they had got beyond the headland, the beach {{U}}(30) {{/U}} away endlessly before them. {{U}}(31) {{/U}} discovering the world. There were damp, dark caves to {{U}}(32) {{/U}}; there were innumerable pools among the rocks, full of sea creatures; {{U}}(33) {{/U}} here and there along the beach were those strange, yet commonplace objects, washed up and {{U}}(34) {{/U}} by the tide. The afternoon passed quickly. The sun was already setting when the boys reluctantly {{U}}(35) {{/U}} to make their way homeward. But long before they reached the headland, they could see that the tide had come in {{U}}(36) {{/U}} far that they were now {{U}}(37) {{/U}} from either end of the beach. Their only chance of {{U}}(38) {{/U}} was to find a way up the cliff nearby. They soon found a narrow path leading to the cliff top. But half way up, their path was {{U}}(39) {{/U}} by a large rock which they could not {{U}}(40) {{/U}}. The two boys had to shout at the top of their voices,{{U}} (41) {{/U}} someone might come to their {{U}}(42) {{/U}}. Just then, to their great surprise, their father {{U}}(43) {{/U}} over the top of the rock, and with him were two policemen. One of them climbed down a rope which was {{U}}(44) {{/U}} over the rock. The two boys were then pulled to safety, and thus {{U}}(45) {{/U}} from spending a miserable night on the cliff. |
