When Bad Turns to Good

Hours passed and our bellies started to grumble

and rumble making sounds like an active volcano
waiting to explode. Hunger was taking over our

excitement. “Did you guys hear that?” Kenisha

giggled, “It’s time to eat!”

We laughed joyously and again raced to our bags
to get out our money to buy something to eat.

Kenisha took out her money and so did Francis

and they both go ahead to the store while

I looked for the money I had put in my pants

pocket before leaving home. “Meet us there,”
Kenisha shouted from a distance.

After searching in every compartment of my

knapsack I realized that my pants were missing

and with all my money! I retraced my steps but
I could not find them. Then, when I looked out

towards the water, I saw them sweetly floating in

the distance! I would have gone for them but

knew that I couldn’t swim so far away into the

deep blue sea through such strong waves.
