It Was No Ordinary Day

We went to Kaiteriteri beach and I was a bit scared not knowing what would happen.

The air was all frosty as I stared out at the waves. They were all bumpy and rough, but we still went. Jamie-Lee Brittany Keilamarita Anita and I were looking forward to that day.

Jamie-Lee ran out to the water. She put both her feet in and the current started pulling her out!

She screamed out, “HELP ME!”

We jumped on a kayak and pulled her back in. We had gone out deeper than we realised.

Jamie-Lee started to lose control of the kayak. She started spinning round and around.

Suddenly an angry seal popped out of the water and started pulling her out to sea. Anita tried to help her but that made the seal angrier. Jamie-Lee hit a rock and the boat started to sink. The seal quickly swam away.

Keilamarita tried to help her, but her kayak got stuck between the rocks and she started to cry and scream.

So, Brittany and I went out to get them. I grabbed hold of Keilamarita and Brittany grabbed hold of Anita and Jamie-Lee.

As we made it back to the beach there I could see there were big bull seals all over the beach.

Jamie-Lee was so scared that she fell to the ground. She woke up about ten minutes later with a fright. A big bull seal came up right behind Jamie-Lee and she screamed and fell over. The seal went right over top of her.

It was a sad and frightening moment for all of us. Brittany thought she had passed away and Keilamarita must have been thinking about cheese because she started singing out loud, “Cheese, cheese, oh, wonderful cheese!” We told her to be quiet and she started to cry. We all knew she was just frightened, like the rest of us.

We dragged Jamie-Lee away from the seal and Anita drove us to the hospital.

We sat there waiting for the doctors to tell us if Jamie-Lee was alive or not. Finally, a doctor came out and said, “She is alive!”

All our faces changed from unhappy to the happiest faces ever! We thanked the doctors and everything went back to the way it was.
