We (1) __________ at noon. We (2) __________ green rice
fields everywhere. We stopped and took some photos at a

wooden photo spot made by the local people. Then, my sister

and I (3) __________ to a small river near the road. The water

After that, we had lunch at a food stall near the river. I (4)

local Tempur coffee. The food was simple but very tasty.

started to rain. We (5) __________ an umbrella. We stayed in the

treehouse for about 30 minutes. We laughed, got wet, and (6)
