The rescue

THE RESCUE

As everyday, the granting sound of the alarm clock rang at seven o’clock, so Henry, the pier guard, jumped out of bed lazily, to start his routine. After a relaxing shower and a copious breakfast, he left home breathing the fresh air of the sea. Everything was calm; Henry was strolling, listening to the waves and watching the boats bobbing as if to the wind pace; when suddenly the roar of an engine caught his attention; two young boys had stolen one of the boats.

Henry was watching how the boat was disappearing in the horizon, while the sunbeams were being hidden behind the dark clouds that were auguring storm. The boys, Mike and Jack, have just begun sailing when they realized about the horrible weather. In few minutes, it started to rain and the soft kind wind, became an awful blizzard. The oars flew away being lost among the waves and they tried to support the boat afloat without success. Unfortunately the boat had been sunked and they had no lifejackets.

The water hit them strongly and when they thought death was nearby, they glimpsed in the distance a hopefull beam, they saw a shore...

They swam quickly and alfer some unending minutes they felt the warm sand between their fingers. The two boys made a fire to get dryer and because it was a good way to be seen. The hours were going and going so they became hungry and exhausted.

Eventually, a big boat of coast guards appeared in the distance; they started shouting happily and when the boat halt on the edge, they saw Henry was in. Not only he rescued them, but also didn’t he punished them for what they did. They have learned an important lesson and they promissed to compensate Henry in some way.
