One day, a big boat was on the water. It was a hot day, but the water was icy cold. The boat had an anchor to help it stay in one place. The people on the boat were happy and having fun. They liked to swim in the icy water.
"Let's swim!" said one girl. The others agreed and they all jumped into the water. They played and laughed. But they forgot to let the anchor down. The boat started to move away from them. They did not see it.
The boat went far, far away. The people in the water got scared. They yelled for help. A kind man in a small boat heard them. He came to save them. He let them get into his boat and took them back to their big boat.
The people were very happy to be back on their big boat. They said "thank you" to the kind man. They learned that they should always let the anchor down before they swim. This way, their boat will not go away from them. And they will be safe and happy.
