Grandmother Would Take Well Care of It

Saved

I woke up in the morning looking forward to the trip around the world. We had bought a big ship, so my family and my mother’s sister were going. The Journey should take a year, so we had to bring with us a lot of food and water, and we only brought with us the most useful things.

We were now all set to go. My sister was very sad, because she had to leave her sweet little cat at home. But we promised that our

Grandmother would take well care of it.

We started of in Hawaii and had planned to arrive in Strasbourg

in France a year later.

The first day had past and the weather had been good so far. This day we all had our jobs. I had to steer the roar and the others were either washing or doing other simple jobs. It was starting to get late so we all went to bed.

I woke up that night because of an terrible noise, and suddenly

Something smashed the boat. The others woke up to because of the noise. “What is happening”, screamed my mother as something smashed the boat again. The ship started leaking and we had to loosen

up the lifeboat, we brought with us ass much food and water as we

could manage before jumping on to it. So very sad, we sat there looking at our new and expensive ship go under. My mother and all

the others cried for a long, long time. “Look, whales. It must have been whales that have smashed our boat. I thought whales were friendly, but they proved me wrong.”

A couple of days had gone and I was really worried, should we ever see land again, I really hoped so. We hadn’t got much food left

and my sister was very sick, she had fever and we hadn’t any medicine.

Another day past by and still no ship had noticed us, we had no more water and rain was the only thing that could save us, we looked

at the sky and it was very cloudy.

Rain came, we filled all cups that could bear water, and drank

As much water as we could manage, thank God for this, fought I.

Next day I went up early to try getting some fish. I had been fishing for a vile when something very big took the crook. It had to be a shark. It was very strong and I couldn’t hold it any longer. I dropped it and that was our chance to get some food.

We waited all day for a ship to notice us, but no one came.

We were all tired and tried to get some sleep. I felt asleep and that night I dreamed about my home, my own sweet home, about seeing my friends again and to sleep in my own bed.

When the morning came I could see a ship, I screamed and screamed till my family woke up to. ”Give me the SOS rockets dad”! “Here you are”, dad said with a smile in his face. I fired them up and it seemed like the ship had noticed us. “Yes, yes”, they turned and came right to us. “We’re saved, saved”, screamed all of us.

We could see the ship now, it was a Japanese fishing float.

The ship had now picked us up and we explained the whole story till them and asked them to drive us home. They answered yes, but they had to wait a couple of days because they had to get some more fish. They gave us food and water, and they let us sleep in very good beds

We were now home in Hawaii and when we came up to our house we all said in a choir, “we love this house and this city.”
