Tama Franks and her brothers Josef and Hori live on a smali island in the Pacific Ocean. One morning they were going to a birthday party on another island when their boat turned over in rough sea. It didn’t sink, but the children turn it the right way up. Fortunately, they swim well. and they reach a rock
about nine kilometres away. They were extremely brave, because the sea was fuli of sharks.
The children stayed on the rock for three days.
They open a few oysters, buf there
was no fresh water. and they knew they survive without anythmg to drink. In the distance. they see the tops of some coconut trees, so they deoded to swim towards them. Alter about a day. they reached a tiny island. They still find any fresh water. but they broke open some coconuts and drank the milk.
Their father finally found them a week later. They were dehydrated. hungry and sunburnt, but they were alive. Their father said later. 'I believe
it when I saw them. It was a miracle.*
