Summary
Jack Griggs, his wife Tonya, and his friends Max and Sasha wanted to sail from England to Australia. They had a lot of money. At first, everything is easy.
They sailed south. The wind was behind them and soon they couldn’t see England. They sailed for weeks and weeks. They stopped at many small towns and villages.
Some days later, they saw a big fishing boat. In the net, the big thing was making a lot of noise. It was a baby orca-a killer whale. And, it was hurt. Jack helped it. He got the net off the baby killer whale. He said, “That baby killer whale … I am going to call it Lucky.”
Suddenly, it was raining very hard and there was a lot of wind. The waves got bigger and bigger. A big wave hit the boat, and Tonya was thrown out. After that, the boat hit a beach. Jack looked at the sea and was thinking about Tonya.
Tonya was five hundred meters away out in the sea. She moved her arms and shouted, but nobody heard her. She heard something different. There were a lot of killer whales. Suddenly the biggest killer whale was under her. She was on his back. He was taking Tonya to the beach.
Then Jack walked along the beach. Just then he found Tonya. Jack put his arms around Tonya. They sat on the beach and looked at the sea. Jack said, “We are very, very lucky.” “Lucky. Yes, Lucky,” she said quietly to Jack.

Evaluation: 5 starsThe sailing is very exciting. It is important to cooperate with friends. When I read this story, I wanted to go to foreign countries. I think that the sea is not always a friendly place. Because they helped killer whale, Tonya was alive. In fact, I have heard other stories like this. So, I think animals have heart of thanks. We must come in contact with animals kindly. Animals thank us and help u
