La Luz Blanca A Very Short Story in Spanish

Todos los veranos , cuando tenía diez años , yo iba a la playa con mi familia y mis amigos . La playa tenía arena blanca y agua clara . Un día , cuando mis amigos y yo fuimos a la playa bonita para surfear , el sol brillaba y las olas estaban muy buenas . Era un día perfecto . Yo fui al agua con mis amigos . Nosotros nadabamos en el agua clara , cuando una ola muy grande vino hacia nosotros . Nosotros nos levantamos . Pero me caí en el agua y mis amigos no me vieron . Otra ola vino y mis amigos fueron a la arena en la playa mientras yo estaba viendo la luz blanca . Yo estaba muy asustado . Sin embargo , mi amigo Matt vino y me ayudó . Yo estaba muy agradecido a que Matt me ayudó . Después , fuimos a mi casa y dormimos porque estábamos muy cansados .

The White Light ( English Translation )

Every summer when I was ten years old , I would go to the beach with my family and friends . The beach had white sand and clear water . One day , when my friends and I went to the beautiful beach to surf , the sun was shining and the waves were great . It was a perfect day . I went to the water with my friends . We were swimming in the clear water when a very big wave came towards us . We stood up . But I fell into the water and my friends didn ’ t see me . Another wave came and my friends went to the sand on the beach while I was watching the white light . I was very scared . However , my friend Matt came and helped me . I was very grateful that Matt helped me . Afterwards , we went to my house and slept because we were very tired .
