When Roald was sixteen, he decided to go off on his own to holiday in France. He         [swam, crossed, went, left] the Channel from Dover to Calais with £24 in his pocket (a lot of money in 1933). Roald wanted to see the Mediterranean Sea , so he took the train first to Paris, then to Marseilles where he          [took off, came in, got on, put on]a bus that went all the way along the coastal road towards Monte Carlo. He finished up at a place called St Jean Cap Ferrat and        [stayed, stood, spent, set]there for ten days. He travelled back home the same way but, by the time he reached Dover, he had            [definitely, absolutely, certainly, hardly]no money left. Luckily a fellow passenger gave him ten shillings for his tram         [fee, payment, money, fare]home. Roald never forgot this kindness and generosity.
