Dave the fisherman drove to his bait 

and fish store on Ocean Pier. He got out 

of his red pickup truck and went into the 

front entrance of the pier. He then walked 

to his store and opened for the day.

Dave turned on the radio, and began to 

stack bait on shelves. Around noon he 

heard a special announcement on the 

radio. A   huge white shark with rainbow 

dots on its fin had been on the beach 

getting close to people. The shark was 

beginning to scare tourist away, and 

there was a reward of 2,000 dollars   for 

whoever killed the shark

Dave was a good fisherman, knew the 

area, and thought he would be able to 

kill the shark. Dave sure could use the 

money for a new fishing pole that he 

wanted. So the next day he went on 

search for the shark

When he arrived to the dock, Dave got 

on his blue and red boat and steered it 

towards shark feeding and nesting 

grounds, where he knew that many 

sharks were at. There was no sign of 

the shark that he was looking for, so 

Dave went further out into the ocean.

He arrived to a shark nesting area. Then 

suddenly the waves began to get 

bigger, and a huge thunder storm 

began to pour down onto the small 

boat. Dave lost control of the steering 

wheel and tripped on a fishing net. He 

tried to stand but he couldn't, his ankle 

began to swell up and it was impossible 

for Dave to stand.

The boat then tipped to the side and 

caused Dave to fall off, and land in the 

shark infested waters. Fortunately Dave 

grabbed onto a piece of drift wood, that 

kept him from drowning. He could only 

paddle with his hands, and he needed 

to get to his boat to call for help. The 

waves had pushed Dave's boat further 

away, and it was impossible for Dave to 

reach it.

Every time Dave would try to paddle to 

his boat the waves would push him back 

to where he started. He floated in the 

ocean, clutching the drift wood, and 

waited to see if there was any sign of a 

near by boat that would save him. After 

what seemed like hours of waiting, 

Dave began to think no one would come 

to rescue him.
