Chapter 2

I woke up and I was beginning to feel the effect of the ocean in other words feeling seasick. I remembered my mom telling me what to do when I was sick and I looked for something my mother had put in the barrel and I found a packet with some food and water. I did not feel like the food but I drank some water. I noticed a small bottle and on it was some writing, but I could not read so did not know what it said. I remember my mom telling me if I felt seasick was to drink the contents in the bottle and it well makes you feel better. I remember when I was sick once before and remembered the taste and did not like it. However it did make me better, but I did not went to drink it. I sat there looking at it hoping I would get better before drinking it.

I did not feel better and then I remembered my older brother who was sick and mom told him to hold his nose and he would not have to taste it. As I was feeling worst sick, I decided to do what my older brother did and I held my nose and drink back the medicine in the bottle. My mom had put in the right dose into the bottle and would be too bad if I was sick again later on, as there was none left.

After awhile I was feeling a lot better and sleepy and I fell asleep again. I began to dream I was playing on a beach with lots of birds flying round and my mom and dad was with me helping me to build sandcastles. My older sisters were there and my brothers. I heard someone calling my name Isi in my dream, and then suddenly I was woken up out of my dream as I felt a shower of water splashed all over me. I wondered if it was raining and I stood up and was surprised and I said, Wow you’re a very large and you’re a… I was lost for words.
