About three years ago, something terrible happened to me. Those six hours of terror have broken my body and
soul. You think I am a very old man- but I am not. It took less than a single day to change my hair from black to
white. One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands, our boat full of fish. All at once the
horizon was covered with a cloud and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. An enormous wave
covered our boat and my younger brother fell overboard. Our boat survived, and I was trying to recover when
my older brother put his mouth close to my ear, and screamed out the horrifying word: “Whirlpool!” With the
wind and waves we were going in the direction of the whirlpool, and nothing could save us!
It may seem strange, but at the moment when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we
were moving towards it. Suddenly we went over the edge. I said a prayer to God; I thought my life was over.
