The cat Maw took his son Samm and Bousi to the island, and they joined their mother and father on the shore, playing and tossing the ball to each other. Bousi said: This is your turn, Samm. He said: Hold the ball, Maw. Then he tossed it to Bousi and said to her: Hold the ball, Bousi.
Bousi and the bird Coco: Bousi said: I’m bored of playing with the ball. I want to ride that boat. The cat Maw said: Which boat? She said: The yellow boat over there. Have you seen it? The bird Coco, the seagulls’ friend, came to them and said: I don’t advise you to ride the yellow boat, for whoever rides on it falls into the water. Samm answered him: What’s the problem? We don’t fear the water. Bousi also said: Yes, I don’t fear the water. Isn’t that right, Maw? Maw said: Yes, it is so.
The bird Coco, the seagulls’ friend, advising them about the yellow boat: The bird Coco said to them: Fine, ask permission from your father, Maw. So they went to their mother to ask her permission to ride the yellow boat. Their mother said to them: A boat! Isn’t that dangerous? The cat Maw said to her: No, we will put on life jackets, and we won’t drown. Will you permit us? Their mother said: Fine, and she turned to their father, saying: Will you permit, my dear, to accompany them? Their father said: Of course, yes. The idea of riding the yellow boat is wonderful. The young ones rejoiced greatly and said: Wonderful. Let’s go, father.
The yellow boat: After a little while, everyone was on the yellow boat, and they had put on life jackets. Bousi and Samm were in the front, then the cat Maw in the middle, and the father at the back of the boat. The bird Coco came and said to them: Are you ready? Let’s go, sailors, and the yellow boat set off in the middle of the waters. Samm said to him: Hurry, hurry more. How enjoyable this is.
The father falling in the water: The cat Maw said: Look, father, here is my mother there. They saw their mother standing on the shore waving to them. While she was waving to the father, he lost his balance and fell into the water. Maw said: Be careful, father. The father said: No problem. I have lost my balance, but I am wearing a life jacket. The bird Coco shouted, saying: Stop, sailors, for someone is in the water. The sailors said: Don’t fear, sir. We will rescue you immediately.
The sailors rescuing the father: The father climbed again onto the yellow boat with the sailors’ help, and everyone set off again, and they continued their trip on the yellow boat with great happiness. After a little while, the trip ended, and the boat returned to the shore.
Another trip the next day: Samm shouted: Mother, we have arrived, and we are all in the water. For the shore settled on the edge of the shore, and everyone fell into the water on the shore. Bousi said: The water is very salty. Her father said to her: It is salty but warm. Do you see how swimming in the water is enjoyable! Do you want us to go on another trip, my friends, tomorrow? Everyone said: Yes, yes, father, yes, yes. That night, Maw, Samm, and Bousi dreamed of another trip on the yellow boat once more.
