We had crashed into a giant rock!!! I fell into the water while sweeping the deck. Then, my wig fell off and
my hair came loose! I don’t know what I’m going to do...
This morning, the captain invited me over to his quarters to have lunch. The food was so much better than
our normal lunch. Surprisingly the captain had found out I was a woman. I had imagined it happening a
million times but I never thought it would be real. I didn’t want to lie to him and I felt bad when I told him
the truth. He has decided to think about whether he should tell the others or keep it a secret.
Day 72
I made the decision to keep it a secret since she was the best crew I had ever had. Yesterday, was the last day
I could see her, considering that she escaped from us. I wonder how we will get back to our hometown
since my ship has been destroyed.
I was so relieved the captain kept my secret but I still had to leave since I didn’t want anyone to know who
I actually was except for the Captain. Now for my next adventure, I will head to India to discover their
culture. This was a very important experience that I will never forget which means that I will learn from it
and not make this mistake ever again.
Day 93
I can’t believe that Lian’s gone, but the good news is that we found a guy called Ming and he was happy to
sell us his ship. We just arrived near India. Now, we just need food. Well, the others probably can fish for
food. I’m amazed that there was a woman on the deck right under my nose and I had no idea.Oh well, life
goes on and I have got work to do and I wonder if I will ever meet her ever again.
I found her! I can’t believe that I found my mum! I missed her so much. We just spent a day crying and
laughing and trying to piece our lives for each other. It was all worth it. I hope I will meet him again
