（A）

Well, it wasn’t long before I wished I had stayed on land! After only a few hours at sea, rain fell and the wind howled. The waves tossed the ship around like a toy.

“Are you all right, Robinson?” Tom had to shout to be heard in the terrible wind. “No. I think I’m going to be sick,” I cried. I had never had sea-sickness before, and I was miserable. “It’s a punishment from God. I never should have disobeyed father,” I thought as I felt sicker and sicker.

The weather got worse. The wind blew and thunder and lightning struck the water. I felt sure we were all going to die. “Please, God,” I prayed. “If you save me, I will go home to York, and work hard at business with my father. I’ll never step onto a ship again!”

Fortunately, the storm soon ended. Evening came, and the stars shone brightly in a clear sky. The wind stopped and the water became calm. I slept deeply. The next morning, it was a beautiful day. The water was a sparkling blue and the sun shone.
