              Roshan and Peng Chin are two good friends who study in the same school. They are in Year 6.

              Last Wednesday was a public holiday. Since it was a fine day, Roshan and Peng Chin decided to go for a swim. They brought along their swimming trunks and some food.

              They were very excited upon seeing the big river. The water was crystal clear. They walked hurriedly along the river bank. Suddenly, Peng Chin slipped and fell into the river.

                The water was deep and Peng Chin could not swim well..He cried for help loudly. Luckily, Roshan was a good swimmer. He jumped into the river and grabbed hold of Peng Chin’s right hand. He managed to save his friend. Roshan reminded Peng Chin that it is always good to be careful.

Set B

               Roshan and Peng Chin know each other since young. They have been neighbours for several years. Roshan and Peng Chin went to the same kindergarten and then to the same primary school in their neighbourhood. Now both of them are in Year 6.

               It was the mid semester break. Both boys decided to go for a swim since the weather was very hot. They brought along their swimming trunks and some food.

               They were very excited upon seeing the big river. The water was crystal clear. They couldn’t contain their excitement. Roshan reminded Peng Chin to be cautious while walking along the riverside because it was slippery. Suddenly, Peng Chin lost his balance and fell into the river. The water was quite deep and Peng Chin did not know how to swim.  Roshan was confused but he tried to remain calm.

                Luckily, Roshan was a good swimmer. He dived into the river and caught hold of Peng Chin’s right hand. He finally managed to save his good friend from drowning.  A friend in need is a friend indeed.
