He got up early and put 3 his warm trousers and his walking boots. Rex was excited and was running round the kitchen. Luke made 4 sandwiches and put them in his bag.

When Luke and the dog left the house, it wasnt very cold and there wasnt much snow. They walked all morning in the countryside. Rex was enjoying the snow and running 5 . 6 the afternoon, it started to snow again but Luke wasnt worried.

Then it happened. Luke was walking across a field 7 he fell and hurt his leg. The dog ran back to him. Luke thought he had his mobile phone in his bag. He opened the bag. There was no mobile in it! It was getting dark and he was getting frightened. He looked across the fields. There was nobody there. Suddenly, the dog turned and ran off. Where was he going?

It got colder and Luke was getting 8 frightened. Then, after about half an hour, he heard noises. 9 was coming. Two men arrived with Rex. One of them told Luke: Your dog ran to our village.
