years old when I got my first pair of football boots. This may not seem
important now, but in (41) days clothing was limited because of the war, and I
knew my father had to go without a coat to give them to me (42)my birthday.

football in a park on (43) end of the town and after my first (44) I walked
across the park to the bus stop. Halfway home, when we (45)the town center, I

possible routes I had (58). Suddenly, after about 100 meters, I saw the boot
(59) all by itself in the middle of the grass. I thought it was a miracle(奇迹) that I had found (60) a small
object.
