The date was like any other day in his life. After school David walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He really wanted to have a new pair for his birthday.
He sadly walked away and thought of how to tell his mother. He knew she would give him anything if she could. But he also knew very well she had little money. He decided not to go home at once, as he looked worried and he didn't want to make his mother worry about it. So he went to the park and there he sat on the grass. Then he saw a girl in a wheel chair. He found that the girl moved the wheels with her hands. David looked at her carefully and was surprised to see that the girl had no feet.

“I also visited the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo. It was fantastic to look from the top of the ski jump (滑雪跳台) and the ski museum was very interesting. I wanted to try a jump but unluckily, it didn’t open when I visited. Anyway, I was very tired and needed a break, so I went back to my hotel and got some sleep.
