the country. I wanted to walk in the woods and seegreen trees-

I had a little red car and I had a map, too. I drove all night out

into the country.

I was happy in my car. We had a very good sunlnler that year.

The country was very pretty in the early morning. The sun was

hot, and the sky was blue. I heard the birds in the trees.

And then n.rycar stopped suddenly.

country-

And then I saw the girl. She walked down the road, with

Ilowers in her hand. She wore a long dress,and her hair was long,

too. It was long and black, and it shone in the sun. She was very

pretty. I wanted to speakto her, so I got out ofthe car.

'Hello,' I said.'I'm lost.Where arn l?'

we can help you.'

small village.'
