I was on a boat, a water skiing boat and me and my friends were attacked!
This is how it happened, you see I was going skiing with my four friends Alice Drake Armen and Tatianna. Me Drake and Alice were great at water skiing but Armen and Tatianna weren’t so great in fact they had never EVER! gone water skiing before. We went to my Uncle’s beach shop and asked him if we could hire a boat from his shop `of corse you can hire one` said Uncle. He lent us the super duper swimmer 5000 `Thanks` I said. `it’s great for water skiing as well` said Uncle so we set the boat up and we went skiing. Tatianna tied the skies to the boat and got the skies ready and we went water skiing. Tatianna went first and was a total failure Armen wasn’t too bad Drake was great and Alice was awesome but she said she thought she saw a shark finally it was my turn Tatianna readied the boat and I was water skiing but then I looked in to the water and saw something it looked like a shark but I new it wasn’t. I screamed croc The crocodile jumped out of the water as if it was a dolphin then it attacked the boat. Tatianna screamed suddenly I new what I had to do I swam to the boat and hit the croc with the ski then me, Alice, Drake, Armen, Tatianna and the croc swam for our lives back to the shore, back to safety Alice turned `faster` she screamed `it’s catching up with us` why does it wan’t to hear about our lives where going to die in a couple of seconds anyway` said Armen `This
is no time for jokes` said Tatianna we reached the shore and my uncle killed it and we all said what a relief, `so now you know the secret of my beach that damn crocodile scared everyone of my beach! said uncle thank for saving us we said to uncle No it was actually you who saved me said uncle so we returned the super duper swimmer 5000 and we all went home still we live to tell the tale but we never ever mentioned Uncle’s Beach.
