A story
(Sent by Ornela Rom, a student from Rosario, Argentina)

The two men had set off on a fishing trip and rowed until they got quite far from shore. They wouldn't have been there and then if they had paid attention to the ship owner's warnings about the weather. Grey, threatening clouds were above their heads. But the clouds weren't noticed by the men who were far too excited about the experience they were going through.

When the sailors were fishing, the sky flashed and suddenly the sound of a fiercely approaching storm was emitted. Only then did they realize the serious problem they had run into and begin to worry.

Before long, the fishermen were caught in the middle of a storm and now it was definitely the time to make a decision. But then, the boat was smashed against a sharp rock throwing them into the cold water.

Fortunately, one of the men noticed a small island which both of them reached after swimming in the rough water. No sooner had the heroes of the story set a fire after the storm died out, than they heard a helicopter to which they shouted desperately.

Finally, the men were saved by a life boat, and a sense of relief immediately came to them as a warm feeling.
