Today was the day of trying the new boat on the river. Nella jumped out of bed, got dressed quickly and woke up her brother Jed.

After  1  Nella and Jed arrived at the riverbank and  2  the new blue boat waiting for them. They got into the boat and packed their picnic under the  3 . Nella started the engine and  4  they went into the wide, brown and unknown  5  of the river.

The boat sounded  6  round a bend in the river. On the distant sandbank they saw a long dark creature  7  in the sun. It opened one eye at them and then suddenly disappeared into the  8 .

“What was that?” shouted Jed.

“It looked like a crocodile to me!” said Nella. “We’d better be  9 . ”

Just as they came round the next  10 , the engine  11  and came to a stop. Nella  12 to start the engine again. But it wouldn’t start. They were  13 .

“Let’s get the wooden oars,” said Jed. “Maybe we can push the boat free.

They tried but failed.

“We’re stuck on a  14 ,” said Nella. “We’ll just have to sit here having our  15  and wait for the water to  16 . ”

“It’s boring!” said Jed. 

Suddenly, they felt the boat move. It moved slowly off the sandbank. And the engine started again. Just at the same time they noticed a black  17  by the boatside and in no time it disappeared in the brown water ahead.

They  18 their journey down the river. It was so exciting.

At noon they saw a small river   19  off the main course. It wasn’t on the map. “Let’s  20 in there!” said Nella.

The boat turned into the smaller channel. On both sides grew thick unknown trees.
