THE QUICK QUICKSAND RESCUE

One winters cold day two brothers called Sam and Jack decided to dress up warmly and take a stroll along the beach.

As Sam and Jack were strolling along, Jqck noticed something silver glistening in one of the sand dunes.  He decided to investigate.

Sam said to Jack " Its probebly y just a piece of old tinfoil shining in the sun, but shall we take a look anyway"?  However, Jack was already heading towards it by the time Sam had finished his sentence.

When Jack got to the bottom of the dune he came across a stream that he would have to cross.  The stream was shallow, sandy and cold and Jack did not realise that he was heading straight into quicksand.

Jack immediately started to panic, he tried to jump free but he was sinking quickly.  He felt frightened and cold as he sank deeper and deeper into the sand.

Luckily Sam was not far behind and he was able to think and act fast!!!  He held out a big stick to Jack who managed to grab it just in time before he went under.  Sam heaved and heaved 
and  eventuall got Jack to  safety . The brothers never ever found out what was 
glistening  in the sun in the sand dune.
