Takai was waiting on the beachfor his father Arama to returnfrom fishing When he saw hisfathers wooden canoe he ran intothe water Almost immediately herealized his father wasnt happyWhats wrong Takai asked Therare no fish Theres nothing to takeback to the village Theres nothingfor us to eat Arama replied
Takai was twelve and knew his father needed helpI can go with you to look for fish Please Father I canhelp His father knew the dangers but he could not go
back to the village without food All right but you have todo exactly what I tell you Takai was very proud that hisfather let him help He jumped into the canoe and tookan oar He and his father rowed the canoe away from theland until it disappeared After a long time Arama put down hisoar and looked up at the sky Takai could see that his fatherwas worried Theres a storm coming We should go back
But it was too late Dark clouds covered the sun and the wind started toblow They tried to row the canoe back to land but the waves were toobig The canoe started moving up and down violently Suddenly a wave brokeover the canoe and Takai hit his head on the side He lost consciousnessWhen he woke up Takai saw his father sitting beside him He wasnt rowingHe was just looking at the sea What happened Takai asked You hit yourhead in the storm And we lost the oars Arama said Now we have to go wherethe currents take us he explained as he looked at the horizonThen Takai sawsomething high in the sky Whats that Father he asked Its a seagull Aramashouted excitedly It means that were close to land
Takai spent the next two days exploring theisland It was covered in trees and there wasa large mountain It was not very differentfrom his home Every evening he went down tothe beach and looked at the sea But there wasno sign of his fathers canoeOne night it was very clear Takai could seemillions of stars Suddenly he heard someonecalling his name He ran to the water and saw
a strange shape It was a long canoe Everyonefrom his village was there They all shoutedTakai Takai when they saw him Now Takai knewhe was in paradise
Takai and his father watched the seagull untilit disappeared Then they were quiet Therewas nothing to do but wait Takai looked atthe sea He felt very alone and he wondered
what his mother and sisters were doing Helooked at the sea for a long time and then he fellasleep Takai opened his eyes suddenly His fatherwas shouting and pointing at a long dark greenshadow on the horizon Look its an island hesaid As Takai watched the shadow grew biggerand clearer The currents were carrying them tothe island Soon they pulled their canoe onto asmooth sandy beach They found some water todrink and built a shelter They were very tired
The next day they started to explore the islandThere werent any people but there were lotsof birds and animals The sea was full of fishThey made spears from some branches and
caught two big fish They tasted delicious Aftera few days Arama told Takai that he wanted toreturn to the village Ill go with you Takai saidNot this time Takai Its a very dangerous journeyThis is a safe place to stay Dont worry Ill beback Arama made new oars for the canoe andleft early the next day Takai was very sad as hewatched his father row out to sea
