The Cruise. By Kayleigh Ní Dhonncha
The Cruise
One windy day I was on a cruise. The boat was really nice. It had a really fancy dining room. The beds were the comfiest beds in the world. The captain was really nice. I noticed this girl with a diamond necklace. It was glistening in the sun. She was going into her room.
I went into my room to go to sleep. I woke up by the sound of the girl with the diamond necklace screaming. I asked her ”What’s wrong” and she said “My diamond necklace is gone”.
I went around the room searching for it but could not seem to find it. I continued my search elsewhere. I went into a room and it was filled with jewellery. I was thinking that it must belong to people that could not pay for the king suite and who gave jewellery instead of money. So I left it there but out of the corner of my eye I saw the necklace .
I went to go and get it but as I grabbed it, someone grabbed me. I tried to get out of their clutches but I could not. He dropped me overboard and I swam to an island. I was terrified I would meet a shark on the way but luckily I didn’t . All I had to eat was a cookie. I was thinking my Mam and my Dad would notice I was gone, but what could they do? I was there for three days.
I dropped my cookie in the sea. So I had nothing to eat but I didn’t like the look of what ate the cookie. It was a shark. I held on to the palm tree. I could still see the shark’s fin swimming away.
On the third day a boat went by. I went crazy trying to get their attention. I was rocking the palm tree and jumping up and down. The captain saw me and let me on the boat. But the captain on this boat worked with the captain that threw me off the other boat so I decided not to explore the boat. I asked him to bring me to Holland because my Mam and Dad were there. He was going to bring me to Holland but he got lost on the way.
The captain gave me food. I had roast potatoes , chicken and gravy. I also had a drink of coke. For desert I had a slice of triple chocolate cake. In the end I had a full stomach and I found my Mam and Dad . The girl found her necklace and the two captains went to jail. We also had a great holiday in Holland.
