A Boat Ride and a Smile
Elara came to Giethoorn for a quiet day. She wanted to see the famous water roads. She went to a small shop to rent a boat. A friendly young man with a kind smile helped her. His name was Finn.
Elara got into a small punter boat. It was a bit difficult to move. Finn saw she needed help. "Do you want some help?" he asked. Elara said, "Yes, please!"
Finn gently showed her how to use the long stick to move the boat. They went slowly along the canals. The little houses looked very pretty, and the flowers were colorful. Elara felt happy and relaxed.
As they floated on the water, Elara and Finn talked. She told him she was visiting. He told her he lived in Giethoorn and loved the water. They laughed a little when Elara’s hat almost fell into the canal.
The hour went by quickly. When Elara returned the boat, she thanked Finn. "I really enjoyed it," she said. "Thank you for your help."
Finn smiled at her. "You're welcome, Elara. Maybe you would like to have a coffee by the water tomorrow?"
Elara’s face became a little pink. "Yes," she said. "I would like that very much."
They smiled at each other again. The quiet water of Giethoorn seemed to smile with them.
Now you can do the QUIZ.
