The Secret Five

It was the last day of school before the summer break. Summer Break was going to start the next day. All five friends decided to plan an adventurous trip. The friends were Ron, Harry, Tom, Jack, and John.

There was an island far away from their city. The name of the island was Atlantis. It was known for having the only park for dinosaurs in the world. They were keen to see the dinosaurs. So they decided to go to the island. But the only problem with them was they did not have enough money to buy tickets for the cruise.

They had an idea. There lived an uncle who had 30 years of experience sailing a ship as he had been a sailor when he was young. They decided to ask him to go with them. They went to his house. The uncle’s name was Alan Grant.

Ron asked, “Can you please come with us on this trip”. But uncle refused.

He said, “I am old now I do not have that much energy and power that you people have”.

But the children were not ready to accept it. They encouraged the uncle by saying “You are not that old that you have lost your energy, you still have enough power as much as we have”. But again, he denied it. After a lot of effort, they finally convinced him to go with them.

They gave their group the name “Team Secret Six”. The next day Team Secret Six was ready to carry their all stuff. The boat was ancient.

However, their uncle was successful in fixing the boat and it was ready. Everyone sat on the boat. Put on their jackets. And they were ready to go. The sun shined brightly; it was 8 am. It seemed that there would be no rain. Hence, they started their journey.

They sang songs, played games, and enjoyed themselves. Their journey seemed easy. But when it was 1 pm suddenly the wind began to blow heavily, and clouds began to gather in the sky which seemed that it was going to rain heavily. Everybody got scared and began to scream.

Huge water waves began to rise in the sea. The boat was hit by a wave. The boat tossed in the sea up and down. Everyone screamed with fear. The boat broke into pieces, and they took the support of one of the pieces of the boat. After that dreadful storm the next day they found themselves on one edge of the island. They did not know which island it was as all their maps and compasses were flown away in the storm. They all scrambled and moved in different directions to find out the place. Uncle Grant and Ron heard terrible and scary sounds coming from a distant place. When they went closer to the voice, they found that it was Atlantis Island which they were going to. Everyone was relieved. Although their stuff was drowned away still, they did not lose hope and enjoyed their trip.
