He ran quickly down the road to his friend Robert’s house. “Hi, Robert, let’s go swimming down the river today,” said Alfred. “Sure, let’s go. Oh, wait. There’s not much water though and it’s not raining either.” said Robert. “Oh well, I’d better see you tomorrow.” said Alfred.
As he was walking home, it started to rain heavily, and the river began to fill up. So Alfred ran back to Robert’s and knocked on the door. “It’s raining.” said Alfred. So Robert agreed and took his boogie boards(冲浪板) down to the river for a swim with Alfred.
