When days came, the sea was quiet again. I looked for our ship and, to my surprise, it was still there and still in one piece. "I think I can swim to it," I said to myself.

So I walked down to the sea and before long, I was at the ship and was swimming round it. But how could I get onto it? In the end, I got in through a hole in the side, but it wasn't easy.

The back of the ship was high out of the water, and I was very thankful for this because all the ship's food was there. I was very hungry so I began to eat something at once. Then I decided to take some of it back to the shore with me.

I looked around the ship, and after a few minutes, I found some long pieces of wood. I tied them together with ropes. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship.
