  That Saturday afternoon, Jim and Kenzy went fishing with their Uncle Mike in his
small fishing boat. The two boys were beaming with excitement as their eyes met,
a little grin was exchanged. They both had an understanding, the way they
looked at each other, their body language and facial expression which no other
5 could understand. They shared a special bond. At last, they were out in the
deep blue ocean where Uncle Mike had cast his net. The water was embedded
with a kaleidoscope of colourful fishes and peaceful creatures.
At that moment, Jim became overwhelmed with fascination of the fishes and
creatures gliding to and fro in the deep blue and was tempted to join. Within
10 seconds, he dived and began swimming, splashing and enjoying the warm
embrace of nature’s wonder. The sun was sparkling and smiling looking down on
them. Jim looked at Kenzy and laughed as he waved and swayed happily like a
13 dolphin in the water. Suddenly, Kenzy’s face changed into a look of terror. He
saw a giant black fin making its way to Jim. He screamed and shouted with all his
might to Jim but Jim didn’t undersand what he was saying. He motioned his
hands for Jim to look back and as Jim turned around he saw the monster
17 approaching. Kenzy started to paddle faster towards Jim to rescue him but the
monster was too swift.
Jim became strickened with fear but desperately began to swim as fast as he
20 could, however, the monster was gaining in on him. Uncle Mike threw a rope
from the boat, Jim held onto it and they both pulled him until he was safe in the
boat. Jim’s body was as cold as ice, he was traumatized with fear and speechless.
The boys were scared like mouse as they sat quietly in the fishing boat. The
monster circled the boat until it realized that its meal was no more then went
away. That day, they learnt the importance of friendship and think before you act.
