I had a stick in my hand so I kept jabbing it to make sure that where I stepped was safe . As I went farther out onto it , my heart raced more , but I could feel the ice bobbing up and down under me and it was a nice weird kinda feeling . The ocean was calm yesterday so I was pretty safe that it would not all of a sudden start to drift again .

Question: Why did I use the stick ?
Answer: To provide security .To stop the ice from drifting .To calm the ocean .None of the above choices .
