10、ee years ago, something terrible happened to me. That was the day when ittook only six hours to break my body and soul. You think I am a very old man一but Iam not. It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to white.One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands whe

11、re we oftenrisked going and got more fish than others. All at once, the sky was covered with darkclouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. A huge wave covered ourboat and my younger brother fell into the sea. My elder brother put his mouth close tomy ear and cried out Moskoe-stro

12、m! The moment I heard the word I became veryfrightened. I knew what he meant by that one word well enough.With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool. We werehopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was flling from a mountain top in adream. We went round and

13、 round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of thewhirlpool. It may appear strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge ofthe whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think howamazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the

14、 powerof nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But momentafter moment passed, and I was still safe.Read and thinkThe boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles atgreat speed. I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlp

15、ool- trees andbarrels. After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made threeimportant observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly theyfell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down lessrapidly; and the third, between t

16、wo objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tubefell down more slowly. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float. I tried to make mybrother understand, but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat. Withoutwaiting, I jumped into the sea to try and escape.As you can see, the reaso

17、n why Im here to tell the story is that I made the rightdecision. Some time after I left the boat, with my brother in it, it was pulled into thebottom of the whirlpool. Soon after that, the whirlpool became less wild. Then the skywas clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining. I was still tied

18、 to the barrel andthe waves soon carried me to an area where the other fishermen were. In the end, aboat picked me up. I was very tired. The fishermen were my old friends, but they wereunable to recognise me. When I told them my story, they did not believe it. Now I havetold you, and I cannot expect

19、 you to believe me any more than the fishermen did.Read and thinkLets check the answer.1 Who are the main characters in the story?2 Who is telling the story?3 When and where did the story happen?4 What effect did the terrible experience have on the storyteller?The fisherman and his brothers.The fish
