Sammy Gilly

Sammy Gilly was a great fisherman, he had caught many species including Barracuda, Trout and had traveled the world fishing with his father, but his favorite fishing spot was the rocks at his local beach. One morning Sammy left his house and went on his way the rocks. He had been standing there for hours when it suddenly began to rain. He started to pack up when all of a sudden his line went taut. The fish was really pulling in a flash it pulled him in. He was racing through the water, he could just make out the shape of a Great White Shark as it turned! Then suddenly a flash of white and grey appeared directly in front of him and the water turned red. Had the shark bit him? He started stressing, he needed air! Then through the water some-one grabbed him under the shoulder, unhooked him and dragged him up. Running out of air fast Sammy’s head broke the surface and took a deep gulp of air and fainted. He opened his eyes slowly and saw his rescuer standing above him, he started talking
“Ya alright? That was one heck of a ride you had.”
“Who, who are you?” Sam asked
“I’m peter, I was spear fish’n when I saw the great white and I thought it was after me so I shot it, then I saw you and got ya.” He help him to his feet and said “,I’ll take you home and help ya explain what happened.”
“Thanks for saving me,” moaned Sammy.
“Any day mate, any day.”
