But I needed it badly . I hurried down to the beach and I found help .Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning 5 . I told them about my sick little sister .

What would happen to him –to the others-to 17 ? The men just smiled at my alarm. “That 18 will make us even more careful.” They said . The men went down the path . Every 19 was a careful one . Always the cot was level , with never a bump . When they reached the beach road , they quietly lifted Janet into the taxi . 20 , they stretched her out on the back seat . We made the morning train for Tokyo . And there an ambulance was waiting to take Janet to the hospital . The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time . Janet would be all right soon .
