It was a beautiful day in Cuba. Alfonso and his friends decided to go for a boat-ride. When their turn came, Alfonso saw that the boat was already filled with passengers. “Let us wait for the next one,” he told his friends. “Do not worry. It is safe, please get on,” said the boatman. His friends also did not want to wait, so Alfonso and his friends boarded the boat. When they reached the middle of the lake, there was a pleasant breeze. Everyone enjoyed it. Suddenly, the wind turned stronger. The boatman turned the boat back to the shore, but the boat was moving very slowly because it was overpacked. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind overturned the boat. Many people began to be drowned. Alfonso pulled some passengers back towards the boat where they could hold on to the life-savers. He dived into the water and rescued many others.
