It was a fine and breezy afternoon. Jessie and her brother were far out at sea fishing. It was a good trip so far. By noon they had already caught five fish. They were now resting and joking in the boat as they enjoyed their snack.
Suddenly and without warning, Jessie's face turned shockingly pale. Her brother Owen, looked at her thinking she had fallen ill. His eyes followed her gaze as she pointed to the starboard side. To his horror, he saw a triangular fin above the water. Hurriedly he dashed to the back of the boat and tried desperately to start the motor. However, it was stuck.
The siblings panicked. They did not know what to do. Jessie armed herself with the oar, preparing to strike the monstrous beast when it attacked. Owen continued to fiddle with the control in an effort to get the motor to start. The triangular fin continued to circle the boat, getting closer with the completion of each circle. As the fin got closer to the boat, the siblings began to think that they were about to meet their doom.
Just as the creature was about to touch the boat, to their huge relief, the motor revved into action. The boat sped off quickly towards the shore. Once they were at a safe distance, Jessie and Owen slumped onto their seats and wiped perspiration from their foreheads. Thank goodness, they were not harmed!
