The Adventures of Lola and Woofy Happy Holidays Text: édith Soonckindt and Mathieu Couplet The summer holidays were finally here! Lola was happy and was jumping about all over her room like crazy, and Woofy too. This was the first time they would be spending their holidays at the seaside! And, to top it all, Tito would be joining them as well! But poor Lola was in a fix. She had never packed a suitcase before. She really didn't know what she should take with her – a sun hat, or maybe an umbrella? How many tee shirts? Her Monopoly game or her waterproof coat, just in case it rained? And which dolls? Her mum told Lola that she should decide for herself what she needed to take. Suddenly, an idea struck Lola. She would let Woofy choose for her! One by one, he brought a bath towel, a yo-yo, her favourite doll, an umbrella, suntan cream, and a hat. Lola was so excited about the trip that she couldn't sleep. All night she thought about the sea, the sand, and the games she would play on the beach. Soon it was morning! Lola proudly placed her suitcase in the boot of their car. Then Tito, Woofy, and Lola happily climbed onto their seats. They were very excited about what they would find once they reached the seaside. And at last they were there! "Wait a moment!" said Lola. "Let me put on my swimsuit." She searched for it in her suitcase, but all in vain. She had left it behind. "Oh, Woofy," she said, "how silly of you not to have chosen my swimsuit!" So poor Lola took along Tito and Woofy to help her buy a swimsuit that she could wear on the beach and her mum gave her the money. Lola carried her secret diary with her, to note down all the discoveries she would make on the way. But, some time later, between one stop and another, Lola found she had lost her diary. And she began to cry. Tito was quite sad to see her crying and Woofy soon found that licking away her tears didn't help. While Lola was sobbing, she had an idea. Since Woofy had helped her pack her suitcase, couldn't he help to find her diary? So, to find the lost diary, the three friends went back the way they had come. Lola and Tito, with their eyes fixed to the ground, were expecting a miracle. Woofy wagged his tail and sniffed hard with his nose in the air. They were all on the lookout for the smallest clue. Every time Woofy found anything, he would come running back with it to Lola. And one after another, he proudly placed before her a spade, a hat, a pack of cards, and a ball – all of which had been dropped by other people. None of these things made Lola happy and she started looking sad again. But Woofy obediently trotted on to bring her a towel, a pair of glasses, and a book. But the diary they were looking for was not there. And so Lola began to sob once more… … Until she, Tito, and Woofy reached the ice-cream seller. They had stopped there after buying the swimsuit. And, just as they flopped down on to a bench, very disappointed, clever Woofy sniffed out the diary from under the ice-cream seller's cart! The three friends jumped with joy. The lost diary was found! Lola had a pretty new swimsuit, there were ice creams for everyone, including Woofy, and they could look forward to a swim and a nice walk on the beach. All's well that ends well. And the holidays had only just begun! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
