The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but all the same, it was very cold, 8 our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us 9 . We all felt that we should go back, but no one wanted to 10 .
We soon reached the sands. There was nobody there, but we were not to be discouraged. 11 we were proud that we were the 12 ones that dared to challenge the weather. Besides, the sun could keep us warm. So we 13 ourselves quickly.
But things were not going to be so nice as we thought. The sea wind was blowing, we felt 14 cold and we shook from head to feet. At last we decided to 15 the sea water. We put our feet in first, only to take them back 16 . The water was unbelievably cold. 17 I suggested that we should all jump in at the same time. We all went back ten steps.

We put on our clothes as quickly as possible and went home.
We four did not go to school the next three days, for we all 20 a bad cold. We missed the lessons, but we had this unforgettable experience.
