Answer:
I have been thinking of going on a voyage. And here came the opportunity to sail on a ship! I enjoyed the blue sea, the silence all around, an amazing sunrise for a week. Then suddenly one day, our ship was caught in a hurricane. We got lost and reached near an island. The captain cast anchor at the port. All of us were tired and hungry. We went in search of food and water and found fruit trees and a stream of fresh water. We ate the fruits and quenched our thirst. We felt strengthened again. Soon it started getting dark. With our tiring experience, we went to sleep. Suddenly, we heard a hissing sound. Before anyone of us could understand and react, a long and huge python like serpent appeared and swallowed one of our companions. We immediately ran for our life and climbed a tree. We were not aware that the snakes can climb trees also. As soon as we started feeling safe, the same hissing noise again started and another companion of mine who had settled at a lower branch was also swallowed by the python. His hunger seemed to be satisfied by two of my companions as it went away after that. In spite of all the fear, I soon fell asleep. When I woke up, it was broad daylight. I realized my position and understood that if I do not find a way to secure my life, I will also meet the same fate as my companions. I climbed down. I collected a lot of dry wood and bushes and tied them with branches of a tree to make a tent like structure. I secured myself inside this structure at dusk. Soon, I heard the same hissing noise as the previous day. The python seemed to go round and round the tent like structure and trying a way to enter it. Finding no way, it settled down and waited for me to come down. I kept my patience and courage and waited for the python to go away. Around dawn, I heard the python moving away. Taking no chances, I waited for the daylight.
