Once upon a time, there was an explorer named Max who set out on a journey to discover a new land. However, as he sailed the seas, his ship suddenly hit an iceberg and started to sink. Max quickly jumped into a lifeboat and rowed as fast as he could to save himself. But, as he rowed, he noticed that the lifeboat was slowly melting due to the hot sun.
Just then, Max spotted a rescue ship in the distance. He rowed towards it with all his might, but the melted lifeboat started to fall apart. Max held on tight and finally made it to the rescue ship, just in the nick of time! The rescuer on the ship asked, "How did you survive such a dangerous ordeal?" Max replied with a smile, "I'm a survivor, not a sink-er!"
