The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys,Carl,Simon,and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.

There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving,their father said,"Boys,I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!"Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks,they still took him.

When the three arrived at the shore,they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars(桨）。Carl and Simon took turns to paddle(划桨）the boat.

Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island,they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole,more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!

＂How can we get back with the weight of us?"Simon wondered.

Carl answered"You row Ben across,and then come back for me. If we move fast,it won't sink with only two. "Simon agreed.

The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island,but when they headed for their boat,they were shocked!Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in!The island was disappearing!

The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute"Simon,you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour. "The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around,helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home

Paragraph 1:

Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.

Answer

Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now. The sun was setting; darkness was overtaking Carl. Realizing the island would be flooded, he searched around and selected the strongest and tallest tree. Exhausted and scared, he settled- himself in the trunk. Shortly afterwards, just as he was about to climb to the higher branch to avoid the rising tide, he heard a motor noise. He gazed toward home and could see a lantern flashing in the distance, then voices calling.

In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him. Tears streaming down his cheek, Carl cried "Thank you for your timely appearance！ "On the way back, dad explained, "When I got home from town, I couldn’t find you, so I tracked you to the shore. I went back for the motorboat and then I met Simon and Ben. The rest is history. Son. I am proud of you. What you did in risking your life for your brothers was wonderful and you demonstrated at it meant to truly love someone. ’’
