Then the five60 women climbed into the rowing boat and started to row70 out onto the river, but there was a very loud80 roar from the riverbank. “Hey! That’s my boat,” shouted a90 very angry old man. He was furious. The women quickly100 rowed the boat back to the riverbank and got out110. “We’re very sorry,” they said. They were really flustered, so120 they ran back along the riverbank.
