Stranded

Tweet

Yesterday my mom visited her friends who live on a small island. She enjoyed her time with her friends, but when she wanted to leave there was no ferry. She thought it was delayed, but it was worse. She found out that the ferry broke down in the middle of the water. The passengers weren't in danger, but they were stuck on the ferry, and the ferry was not able to pick up my mom and the other passengers who were waiting at the habour. My mom was very worried. She knew that there was another ferry, but that ferry runs between different harbours, and my mom parked her car in the town where she was supposed to arrive. There were no buses that late at night, and a taxi would have been extremely expensive. Fortunately her friends are very nice and they let her borrow their car. My mom got a ticket for the other ferry, and when she arrived she drove to the town where she had left her own car. Her friends will have to take the ferry in order to get their car back, so it was really nice of them to lend her their car. In the past I lived on a small island, and things like this happen sometimes. We had a bridge, but sometimes it was closed because of accidents or the weather. When it happened we couldn't leave the island or we couldn't get home. That is one of the things I don't miss about that place, and I don't plan on living on a small island again.
