        A pleasant Sunday outing in the spring sunshine almost turned to tragedy for two Harpole families at Ladram beach last weekend.

        The children in the party had pleaded to be allowed to explore an adjacent bay together, and their parents, who were looking forward to a cup of coffee at a nearby café, had agreed that they could go, provided they promised to be back within an hour. The four children then scampered off along the beach by the foot of the cliffs, clambered over the rocks at the end of the bay, and disappeared from sight around the headland.

        They failed to notice the time passing, until they realised in dismay that the tide was coming in rapidly, and hurriedly they retraced their steps along the now narrow strip of sand. If they had been a few minutes earlier, they could still have paddled back round the headland, but already the water was too deep for them to pass. Although they tried, they could not climb the steep cliffs either, so the eldest of the four, the only one who could swim, left the others sitting on a rock, holding one another by the hand, while he attempted to swim back and raised the alarm.

        The boy, 12-year-old Thomas Tailor of Manor Road, Harpole, struggled manfully in the cold water against the strong current, and twenty minutes later he succeeded in rounding the headland. Soon after, he was able to scramble ashore in the next bay. After pausing to regain his breath, he raced to his worried parents and told the story. Luckily they managed to find the owner of a nearby motor boat, and sped off to the rescue. They found the frightened youngsters, still holding one another’s hands with waves now lapping around their feet.

 

 

1. The children’s requests weren’t really urgent.
2. The children were eager to investigate a nearby gulf.
3. One can’t be overburdened when children are involved.
4. The children roamed along the beach by the foot of the cliffs.
5. They realised in dismay that the law tide was coming in rapidly.
6. The children’s efforts to clamber the steep rocks were vain.
7. Having understood their problem, Thomas Tailor didn’t hesitate what to do.
8. Thomas Tailor purpose was to double the cape first of all.
9. Thomas raced to his worried parents without losing a moment.
10. The children escaped the great danger they were facing.

he’s fed up with them, but he is very keen on games. He loathes books. Especially the books they

is fond of football, but he is evidently crazy about tennis. He thinks he can make a fortune at it,

 

so he never stops practising. But as far as his studying is concerned… well, his teachers say he
