“That’s a 7 ．Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy．”
“Good-bye，joy，”I thought to myself，”Hello， 8 ．”and walked away．My life then seemed completely out of 9 ．
“Come again，”she called．”and have another 10 day．”
But the days and weeks that followed 11 to other people：naughty boys and a 12 mother．One morning I suddenly realized I needed my 13 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 14 the child so I was surprised when she appeared．
“ 15 do you live?” I asked．She pointed toward a summer cottage．

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