I first met her on the beach near where I live.I drive to this beach.a 36 of three or four miles, when-ever I’m feeling down.At that time she was 37 something.
Looking 38 ,she said,”Hello.”I nodded,not wanting to 39 with a small child.
“I’m Wendy and I’m building something.”she said.
“I see.But what is it?” I asked,not 40 .
“Don’t know,I just like the 41 of sand.”
A sandpiper(矶鹞鸟)flew by.
“That’s a 42 .Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy.”
“Good―bye,joy,”I thought to myself,”Hello, 43 .”and walked away.My life then seemed completely out of 44 .
“Come again,”she called.”and have another 45 day.”
But the days and weeks that followed 46 to other people:naughty boys and a 47 mother.One morning I suddenly realized I needed my 48 and headed for the beach.The breeze was cool.but I walked along,trying to recapture(捕捉)the inner peace I needed.I had almost 49 the child so I was surprised
when she appeared.
“ 50 do you live?” I asked.She pointed toward a summer cottage.
Then one day,I rushed to my beach in great pain,even in no 51 to greet the girl.”If you don’t mind,”I said coldly,”I’d rather be 52 today.”She seemed unusually 53 and out of breath.
“Why?” she asked.
“My mother died! “
“Did it hurt when she died?”
“Of course it hurt!” I shouted,misunderstanding her.
When I next went to the beach,she wasn’t there.Feeling 54 ,and admitting I 55 her,I went up to the cottage.A woman answered the door.”Wendy,my daughter,died last week.She had leukemia(白血病).Maybe she didn’t tell you.”

“I’m not 41 ,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”
