"The Half Sunken Ship"
by

O
nce upon a time in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean was a humongous Cruise ship. The ship took people to where they needed to go. Instead of flying like we do now. The ship had been made in 1492, and still people trust it to take them across the Atlantic Ocean safely and to bring them back home. The hip had just dropped a group of people off and was about to up another bunch. Suddenly, the captain, Bob noticed that there were more people then he could fit on the ship, but he thought, I need the money so he let all of the people aboard the ship.

Because the ship was loaded, it started to sink half way across the Atlantic Ocean and a family of four was already half halfway under water. Neither the captain Bob nor one of his sailors Scott knew what to do. Opaah, the youngest boy was so scared that he was jumping up and down and then heather, his sister started yelling to mom and dad. It all started such a big commotion that the captain turned around. Well, as fast as he could because the ship sunk more and more each minute that he sailed.

Mean while, while he was sailing Scott took a piece of gum out of mouth and stuffed it in the little hole where the water had been coming in. After that, he tried to scoop as much of that ice-cold water with his bare hands into the toilet to flush down. Then all of the water would go back to where it came from, outside in the ocean. Yet that was still the least of their problems.

Suddenly, the gum popped out of the hole and again the ship started sinking, but luckily we were about three minutes away from shore. Right when the boat got to shore and all of the people were off the boat, the hole grew larger and larger and the boat gave away and broke into a million pieces. Now, the sailors had to walk to a boat shop and trade something of theirs for a boat, besides their money. He couldnít use his money because he wanted to use it to buy an actual house because right now he lives in a little hut. He walked up to the store manager who offered him some free gum, but Scott the sailor, just ignored the gum and asked for a boat.
The only things that he had to trade were some beautiful stones that he had found on the shore while walking. Luckily the manager loved the stones and let him have three boats to take with him. But who would sail the other two ships. I have the captain bob and me.

To solve this problem all Scott had to do was ask for two ships instead of three. He set back out to sea, but never did he take more people then he could fit on the boat or ship that he was sailing again.



The End
