08-1 The Message in a Bottle 海上救援

The Message in a Bottle Joan and Dad sail their boat over the waves. Suddenly, the engine shuts down far from the coast.

They try a lot of ways. But nothing comes out except some foam. The boat stays afloat, further and further away from the coast.

Dad shouts for help until his throat is sore. "What do we do?" Joan groans. Suddenly, Joan has an idea.

"We can write a message for help, and float it in this bottle!" Joan says. Joan throws the bottle out, and watches it float away.

Joan and Dad are still afloat. They wait and wait. At last, they hear a boat. "Over here!" Dad waves his coat.

"Is this your message?" asks one man. "Yes! My floating bottle!" Joan cries. Dad croaks, "It's our lucky bottle, too!"
