Ⅱ. Watch the flash 
The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. 
I like sitting by the Wayle on fine 
afternoons. 
It was warm last Sunday, 
so I went and sat on the river bank 
as usual. 
Some children were playing games 
on the bank and there were some 
people rowing on the river. 
Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard 
and it went towards a passing boat. 
Some people on the bank called out 
to the man in the boat, 
but he did not hear them. 
The ball struck him so hard 
that he nearly fell into the water. 
I turned to look at the children, 
but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away! 
The man laughed when he realized what had happened. 
He called out to the children 
and threw the ball back to the bank.
