It was a summer. After a 33-kilometre cycling, my cousin Gabriel and I were 1. We planned to get lunch and then 2 back to Valence, where I was spending my holiday with Gabriel's family.
We bought a baguette. As we ate, I noticed a girl in a queue smiling at us.
I met her again when she sat on a bench, enjoying her bread in front of a riverboat named Voyageur. Soon she boarded the boat. Then I noticed a colourful handbag on the 3. The girl had left it!
She was on the upper deck (甲板)! I held up the bag and 4 it to get her attention. When she noticed the bag, she opened her mouth 5. But her face fell—the boat started to pull away from the dock (码头).
"We can 6 it! The boat's next stop is Valence!" Gabriel came up.
"Great! But do you think we can 7?" I asked.
Gabriel laughed. "We're going to find out!"
We set off. It was a race now: 8 against the boat. If the boat beat us to Valence, we might 9 have the chance to give back the bag.

Then it happened: Pfft! A flat tyre (轮胎漏气)! My heart sank.

After a quick 12, we were back on our way. The boat pulled ahead. We watched 13 as the boat disappeared around a bend.
Finally we arrived, 14 Voyageur had docked. We failed!
Gabriel suddenly shouted, "I see her!"
The girl was strolling towards us! "You followed my boat!" she smiled.
