WRONG DETAILS

Read the following descriptions of the scenes. One detail in each description is not in the song. Which?

1. I’m in a boat floating down a river.
2. There’s a girl with me.
3. The colours of the trees on the river banks are beautiful.
4. I hear a girl’s voice calling me, and the sun is in her eyes.

 

5. I try to see the girl, but the flowers on the river bank are so tall, and her clothes are so colourful, that it’s impossible.
6. She’s hiding among the trees.
7. The sun dazzles my eyes.

 

8. People are having a picnic on the river bank.
9. They’re sitting on the grass by a bridge and a lemonade fountain.
10. They smile at me as my boat passes.

 

11. I leave the boat,
12. buy a newspaper and catch a taxi.
13. I’m still thinking about the girl and the beautiful day, quite out of touch with reality.

 

14. I’m on a train waiting to leave the station.
15. A porter is helping me put my luggage on the rack.
16. Suddenly, the girl with beautiful eyes arrives.
