When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. Myparents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 26 . All day, I seem to remember, Iplayedon the sands with strange 27 children. We made houses and gardens, and 28 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, weclimbedover the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days thesun seemed to shine always 29 and the water was always warm. Sometimes weleft beach and walked in the country, 30 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There weresweets in one’s pockets or good places where one could 31ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.

I no longer wish to 35 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.36 , I still love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I37what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I amold. 38I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about39 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves40on too many ices creams.
