Thinking of my good friends,I sense that my attitudes are totally different towards men and women. My earliest childhood friend is Donald.In the street was a(n) 1 old German truck.No wheels.No doors.Each day, 2 we were flying over the Atlantic in that truck our “airplane”,there came that
wonderful moment:“Engine 3 !” I’d shout,“We’ll have to jump out.” Glancing at me,he’d say,“I can’t 4 !”“Fear not!I’ll drag you to the 5 .”
And when we swam 6 the dust,Donald cried “Sharks!” But I always 7 him.The next day,changing 8 ,Donald would do the same to me.We saved each other hundreds of times,but when my family really did leave for America,we could do 9 .We just cried silently as the train 10 .

Atlantic,the 11 one I had “flown” over in my German truck with Donald.We were far from shore when we both thought we 12 a shark!We began swimming 13 toward the shore.Although in 14 ,I fell back to protect her.In the end,the “shark” proved 15 ,but not my deep emotional feeling for my friend.We looked into each other’s eyes and said,“I love you!”
