An Unforgettable
Trip
On a nice, August day a bunch of teenagers
decided they would borrow a boat and go swimming over on a deserted
island five miles out of town. John decided he would be in charge of
getting the boat. The rest were to go home and pack their swimming
clothes. Melissa said she would be in charge of getting the
snacks.
Half an hour later they met at the Hillside
Dock. John had borrowed his uncle's boat, but he had to return it
within a couple of hours. After everyone was settled in the boat they
started their trip to the island.
Soon they reached the island and everyone went
in different directions to explore. Melissa and Karen decided to take
a walk and to gather wood for the fire. Half an hour later everyone
came back and decided itwas time for a swim. Robert said he would
build a fire before he joined them. Everyone was having so much fun
that they hadn't noticed the time. Then John looked at his watch and
told everyone that they needed to start heading for home. Everyone
gathered around the fire to warm up before they left, and Melissa
told them they should eat the snacks she brought.
Just when they started eating the wind picked
up and pitch black clouds appeared from out of nowhere and it began
to rain heavily. Everyone ran for the nearest tall bushes. Then the
wind blew even harder and everything around them started blowing
everywhere. Everyone started talking all at once wondering what they
were going to do. John told them to shut up and not to panic, that
they'd get home after it cleared up. But then Karen informed John
they were out of food and they didn't know how long the storm would
last.
A couple of hours passed and there was still no
sign of the storm clearing up. Robert complained that he was starting
to get hungry and asked Melissa if there were any snacks left.
Melissa said they were out of food except for one can of
Pepsi.
After about eight hours on the island the
weather finally improved. Everyone started jumping for joy and got
all packed up to go home. Along the way everyone was talking all at
once, happy to be going home. But just as they were only two miles
out of town the engine stopped dead. John told the others they'd run
out of gas! Melissa and Karen panicked and asked what they were going
to do now? Robert got mad at them and told them to quit acting like
babies! John said they had two choices, either to paddle the rest of
the way home or paddle to shore and wait until someone came by.
Everyone agreed to paddle on home since it wasn't very
far.
About 20 minutes later they heard a boat
coming. It was John's uncle and Melissa's dad. They got worried about
them, but the storm held them up from coming sooner. Melissa's dad
told everyone to hop into his boat and he would tow the other one.
Everyone was glad to be going home!
