We had no more drinking water so the captain sent me to find some freshwater on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I traveled around the island by myself while the men looked for water. That was a big mistake. When I went back there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing back (划回) to our ship with a giant (巨人) following them in the sea! They looked very afraid. I ran as fast as I could. I then climbed a big hill and found other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giant!” It was not a nice feeling.
