The ocean can be very strong. People can also be very strong. Here are two stories. They are about danger and survival.
Peter Smith was on holiday. A big shark bit him in Tobago. The shark was three metres long. It hurt his leg and arm. Peter fought the shark. He hit it very hard. He was not scared after. He has a strong spirit.
In Australia, a family was on the water. The weather became bad. The children went far from land. They lost their oars. Strong winds pushed them away. They were lost.
Young Austin Appelbee saved his family. He is thirteen. He swam for help. He swam for four hours. He swam to the land. He told people they needed help. Rescuers said his swim was amazing. His mother and brothers waited. The family was safe. They were tired. Austin did not feel like a hero.
