A Diary
Thursday, August 10, Fine
      Today I went swimming with a friend of mine. The weather was fine this morning and a large number of people were enjoying themselves on the seashore.  Some were playing others were
looking for seashells here and there. Many boys and girls were also learning to swim in the sea.
      I was a little afraid at first, but my friend encouraged me and taught me. Little by little, I could swim a short distance. It was great fun to be able to float in the water.
      Tired from swimming we lay down on the seashore, bathing in the sun. We returned home tired but happy.
