DAY 16 At Sea in a Small Boat 乘小船在海上
People have sailed（现在完成时）around the world in quite small boats. It is not an easy thing.
Sometimes the weather goes bad. That will be the end of a boat and the end of everyone in it.
Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family had（have的过去式） an accident with a big fish.
The fish swam (swim的过去式）under their boat and bit（bit的过去式，同形） holes in it.
The water came（come的过去式） into the boat, and of course，the boat soon went（go的过去式） down.
However, these people had another smaller（small的比较级） boat——a life-boat，and they all got（get的过去式） into that.
They lived and hoped for many days.
They woke（wake的过去式）and slept（sleep的过去式）, and they always, hoped...
At last a ship found （find的过去式）them.
How do people live in a very small life boat? Perhaps far weeks or months.
They must（情态动词） be strong in every way. They must have hope，they must want to live.
But you cannot eat and drink hope. You cannot drink sea water.
Drink a lot of sea water，you will quickly die. Sailors can drink rain water.
They must catch rain water in their boat. They must also catch fish and birds for food.
Lifeboats （合成词）do not often carry a cooker，and so the sailors cannot cook their food.
Raw fish and bird-meat is not very nice. But there won't be any choice in a life-boat!
The sailors must eat raw food or they will die.
What do people think about in a life-boat?
They think about land, a warm bed, dry clothes, clean water and food.
