24、,” my father said. He pulled the cord and started the motor.We were only two miles out, but the shoreline looked to me as far away as the moon. Over the distant hills, black clouds ran toward us like wild horses. We made it only halfway home before we met the storm.The wind came first. It lifted the

25、 lake in whitecaps. The weight of the herring made us ride low in the water, and the waves broke over our bow. My father struggled to hold us on course.

29、ught I had no more strength, I heard it. The sound of waves breaking against the shore. We moved into the shelter of our small cove and rode the swells toward the landing.My mother rushed through the rain to greet us. “Ive been so worried,” she said. She hugged me and then my father.“Nothing to worr

30、y about,” he assured her. He put his hand on my shoulder. “You did well, son.
