When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My parents
took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 16
. All day, I seem to remember, I played on the sands with strange
17 children. We made houses and gardens, and
18 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, we
19 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the 20 seemed to shine
always brightly 21 the water was always
warm. 22 we left the beach and walked in
the country, 23 ruined houses and dark woods
and climbing trees. There were 24 sweets
in one's pockets or good places where one could
25 ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
26 I am now thirty-five years
old, my idea of a good 27 is much the same
as it was. I 28 like the sun and warm sand
and the sound of 29 beating the rocks. I
no longer wish to 30 any sand house or sand
garden, and I dislike sweets. I love the sea and often feel of sand
running 31 my fingers.
Sometimes I 32 what my ideal holiday
will be like 33 I am old. All I want to
do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about
34 who make houses and gardens with sands, who make themselves
35 on too many ice-cream…
