Jim Sails with Sharks
Dec 23, 2025
Hi, I'm Jim. I'm eight years old and this is my story about overcoming a shark so that I don't die in the ocean.
There are lots of sharks around the boat that make me feel scared and nervous.
How will I, Jim, survive a shark attack?
Hmm. My plan is to throw some meat in the other direction.
And let the sharks swim away, and then I can speed up and swim in the other direction so that I, Jim, don't have to be shark meat from the ocean.
There's an island and I get to the island where I'm saved.
I'm really, really tired, but I sleep there and rest and recover.
Saved from the shark.
I feel joy and happiness.
