EMMA AND SUSAN, watching from the beach, yelled and then ran barefoot in the direction of the thatched hut. Roy heard their cries and turned to see what all the fuss was about. All three of them dashed over to the wall and wished breathlessly to be home, but nothing happened!

“We’re stranded,” cried Susan. “We’re stuck!”

“We are?” asked Emma. “What will we do?” Her chin quivered.

“Not much to do,” said Roy, patting her shoulder. “We just have to wait, but I’m sure it’ll turn out fine.” He looked at Susan for confirmation of this fact. “Henry will come right back for us. Won’t he?”

“Of course he will,” said Susan. Under her breath she added, “If he can.”

But Emma didn’t hear that part, so she breathed a sigh of relief. “Can we go swimming?” she asked.

Susan was about to say no because she thought they should wait by the wall for Henry, but when she looked out at the greenish blue water, she changed her mind. It did look tantalizing. “Okay,” she said, “I guess our clothes will dry fast in this sun, but we have to be extra careful and stay close to shore. Who knows how many miles we are from the nearest lifeguard.”

Roy took off his sneakers and they all walked into the water, which felt as good as it looked. They paddled and watched tiny fish dart around their feet, and it was nothing like the murky brown reservoir they swam in at home. None of them had ever gone swimming in their clothes before, and they laughed when their shirts filled with big air bubbles. But when a dark shark fin broke the surface of the sea only about twenty feet away, they all climbed quickly back onto the sand, licking the salt from their lips.
