I will never forget my trip to Italy in 2000. I was on a boat on the Adriatic Sea. There were tourists from different countries, too. A teenage boy with his father sat in front of me. The captain stopped the boat after 35 minutes in the middle of the sea. It was warm and the view was beautiful! We all stood up to look around. The teenager wanted to look at the fish and went closer to the water. Guess what? He fell into the water! We were all shocked and didn't know what to do! Suddenly, we saw two big dolphins in the sea. The dolphins noticed the boy in the sea and swam to help! One of them lifted the boy and threw him into the boat! That was incredible! The dolphin rescued the boy! His father was very grateful to his son's rescuer! I will remember this story forever!

Last month, I was on holiday in Ireland with my parents. Once, we were driving in a small village. We stopped at a restaurant because it was time for lunch. It was a large old building. We looked through the window and there were a lot of people in the restaurant. They were eating, drinking and talking. A musician was playing the violin. The place looked lovely, but there was something strange about the people. They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from the past. We didn't understand anything. We were very hungry, so we opened the door and went in. Everything was different there. The people were wearing normal clothes. The musician wasn't there and the music was on the radio. It was really strange! |

Once, I was walking outside with my mum and sister. It was freezing cold. Suddenly, I noticed a man and a little girl sitting on a stone in the park. They looked miserable and hungry. The girl was wearing a thin jacket and her father was wearing a shirt in the middle of the autumn. I looked at my warm clothes and felt embarrassed. I had everything, but these people didn't. They were homeless, hungry and helpless. That day, we came back home and decided to help homeless people in our city. We collected clothes from our neighbours. My sister had a great plan. She asked my parents to put boxes with the clothes in the park for homeless people. We wrote on the boxes: "Please take what you need!". Everyone helped us. We put more than 12 boxes full of clothes for homeless people. That day was the happiest day of our life.

I was looking around when we were in the car. Our hotel was in a beautiful village near a forest. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. I could see animals in the forest. The white and black horses were eating grass and the rabbits were jumping near them. Something strange happened on our first day in the hotel. It was dark when I woke up. I called my parents, but nobody answered. My room looked different. I looked out of the window and I was |
