Question

Short story with adventures at Sea

Answer 1

It was the summer holidays. The 3 children, Tom, Ram and Sanjay, were playing carroms at Sanjay's house. The three friends were all 12 years old.
"Let us go to Sandy beach," said Tom. "We can wade into the water and stay cool - the climate is really hot here in the town."Ram and Sanjay agreed, and got their parents' permission."Please, be careful, and obey the lifeguard at the beach when wading," instructed Sanjay's mother.Ram had a pair of goggles to put on his eyes, while swimming - he took that with him. Sanjay took a volley-ball from his house to play on the beach.The friends took the 1.30 pm bus from the town center. It reached Sandy beach at 3 pm.the children got off the bus, and walked along the beach. At first, there were shops for tourists, and hotels and restaurants, on the side of the beach, but as they walked on, these got fewer."We will play and wade farther on - away from the restaurants and crowds," said Sanjay.The other children agreed. They passed a lighthouse, and found themselves on a better, but smaller beach, with no crowds.

"We can play here," said Tom.For some time, the children played volley-ball on the beach. Then they started wadding into the sea."There was a man hiring out surfboards on the first beach," said Ram. "Let us try surfing."Tom and Sanjay agreed, and Ram ran back to the other beach to hire a surfboard. He came back soon, carrying a snorkel and goggles to put on his face underwater, in addition to a surfboard.Surfing was not as easy as the experts make it out to be. The 2 children repeatedly fell off the board, as big waves came in several times. Ram put on snorkel and goggles to look and breathe underwater.It was a small beach, and no one else was there, and so the children enjoyed themselves.After some time, Tom asked what the time was."It is 5.45 pm," said Ram, looking at his waterproof watch."Let us get back," said Sanjay. "We have played and enjoyed ourselves enough.""Right!" said the others.They made their way back along the beach. The sea had been coming in (due to the tide), and there was very little beach left. The children were walking on a narrow stretch of beach, with cliff on one side, and the sea on the other. Presently, the beach vanished, with a rock in front of them, and only the sea and the steep cliff left towards the lighthouse."The sea has come in and covered the way we came here," said Ram in alarm. The children tried to make their way around the rock, but big waves came in and dashed against on the rock, and Ram, who was in front, almost fell."Let us go back to the place where we were playing," said Sanjay.But when they went back, the sea was coming in rapidly, and there was only around one foot or so of width of beach remaining. Even that was getting covered gradually, as bigger waves came in.As the tide came in, soon the children were clutching at the cliff's face, with waves pounding at their feet."Help! Help!" yelled the children, but there was apparently no one to hear them.Then, suddenly, a boat started from the lighthouse towards the beach. Carefully, the man who was rowing the boat, took it upto the small strip of beach that the children were standing on."Get in!" he shouted, over the roar of the waves.The children got into the boat, which the man rowed towards the lighthouse."We - the lighthouse staff - saw you were in trouble," explained the lighthouse man."As we had a boat, we could come and rescue you. But learn a lesson from this - always check the tide timings before you play near the sea again."The man showed the children the lamp room and other rooms of the lighthouse. Then, at last, the children boarded a bus to go home."It was scary, being trapped on the beach," said Sanjay later."It was an exciting adventure, too," said Ram.
