Once upon a time, there was a brave little boy named Tim who lived by the sea. One day, while he was playing on the beach, he saw a boat in trouble. The boat was badly damaged and was starting to leak water. Tim knew he had to help, so he ran to get his board. He paddled out to the boat as fast as he could. When he got there, he saw that one of the sailors was hurt and was bleeding badly. Tim quickly used his shirt to try and block the bleeding, but it wasn't working. Suddenly, a big wave came and the boat started to blow away from the shore. Tim didn't know what to do, he was scared, but he knew he had to help. With all his might, he used his board to push the boat back to shore. When they finally reached the shore, Tim's shirt was completely soaked in blood. But he didn't care, he was just happy that he had helped. The sailor was taken to the hospital and Tim went home with a proud heart and a blue shirt, knowing that he had done the right thing.
