While I was swimming, some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fish followed me all the time. When I stopped, they came to swam {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me. Then, one of the fish began to talk with me. It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese, too! We had a wonderful conversation. Soon we became good {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and it invited me to visit the place where they lived.
{#blank#}8{#/blank#} I heard a voice, “Weiwei, it's time to get up! Breakfast is ready!” It was Mom's voice. Just then I woke up from my sweet dream {#blank#}9{#/blank#} had to face the real world again.
My dream was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} like a cartoon film, wasn't it?
