Last year, I and my friend, Ümmü decided to cross the Pasific ocean by ship. Ümmü said first it was dangerous, but I convinced her. Ümmü and I went to America by plane. I read a book about oceans while Ümmü was sleeping. The book said oceans are scary. Frankly, I was a little scared.

Ümmü woke up after ten minutes. I showed the book to Ümmü. Ümmü said: I know this book and I read this book. Ümmü said: we are in America there is no turning back now. I thought and I said we haven’t been there yet then we’ll think about what we’re going to do there. Ümmü approved. The flight took 11 hours. We were very hungry when we got off the plane. Quickly we ate something. After that, we rented a small ship, the ship has four rooms and a small kitchen. We were sleepy and we went to a small hotel for sleeping. 2 days later, we’re on our way. We bought a lot of food because it was a long way. An hour later, we travelled a lot. Ümmü saw interesting fish and the fish were coming towards us. A large shark splashed water on the ship. When the ship received a lot of water, we swam to nearby shore and we decided not to go on a sea travel again.
