The storm

My father was right. I never had any luck at sea. The first ship I sailed on sank in a storm. Pirates attacked the next one, and I because a slave. I escaped from the pirates’ ship, anda friendly captain from Portugal took me with him to Brazil. In Brazil, I made money and I bought some land but something made me go back to sea. Friends wanted me to sail to Guinea to help them findslaves. I said yes, but only because I loved sailing so much.

The day we left brazil was a beautiful sunny day. There weren’t any clouds in the sky and I could smell the salt from the sea. I wasvery excited. Then I remembered something.

‘’ you give coins, sugar, rum, generally small things, to the leader o his tribe’’
‘’and the slave leaves with you? ‘’

I didn’t like this man. He only had one eye and very few teeth.But I answered him.
‘’ thought of that. My friends in brazil can take care of my land. If I die, a fried in Portugal will take my money.’’
Soon after that, there was a storm. The sky was black andthere was a flash of lightning. Huge waves came over the side of the ship. We were close to an island, so we got into a smaller boat and tried to get to the shore. The waves wave were too big for us.‘’ keep her stready’’

We can’t held her’’
