I heard the bees long before I saw them.

It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to    21   in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John    22   started to shout and then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly    23    but I was too far away to jump. I was    24  .

I heard a low hum, which was growing louder. From a    25  , the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was    26   my face with my hands.    27  , I thought that if I sat very 28  , the bees would think I was just another rock.

After a few seconds, I knew my    29   had failed. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down.

But it wasn’t so easy. The only way I could    30   was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be    31  .

The noise the bees made was so loud and    32  , and I had no choice.

I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool. I was just so happy to be free from the pain and the water felt so    33  .

But we still weren’t out of    34  . Every time we tried to climb out, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water until the bees finally lost    35  .
