Shark!
I went to Scotland last year for my summer holiday. Many people think that Scotland is always wet and cold, but the weather was beautiful.
It was really hot and sunny, so one day I decided to go for a swim in the sea. The water wasn't cold and I stayed in for a long time.
I was swimming alone, about 50 metres from the beach, when I saw something big and dark in the water. It was moving through the water towards me. I started to swim away, but I saw that it was following me. 'It's a shark!' I thought. I was so scared, and I swam really quickly back to the beach.
A man on the beach told me that it was a basking shark. He said that basking sharks are not dangerous to people. They are very slow and they swim with their mouths wide open to catch small fish and fish eggs from the water.
So I'm not scared of basking sharks now. I'm going back to Scotland for my holiday again next year, and maybe I can swim with basking sharks again.
