Surfer Jin

Jin liked to surf. “The ocean is powerful,” Grandma said. “Don’t swim out too far.”
But Jin always swam out too far. “The ocean is weak,” he said. “It will not hurt me.”
One day, Jin swam far out in the water. He sat on his surfboard. He waited for a wave. He didn’t see that he was drifting farther and farther out.
Suddenly, the shore looked very small. The ocean was rough. Waves tossed Jin around. He swam and swam toward the shore. He was very tired. A big wave slapped him on the head. He almost lost his surfboard. Finally, he made it to shore.
“You are right,” he told Grandma that night. “The ocean is powerful. I will not swim out too far ever again.”
