Finally found that Drowning picture
Drowing!
The high sunlit clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. Waves crashed against the sandy shore before ebbing away.Coconut trees swayed to the gentle breeze of the warm tropical sunshine. I was at the beach with my brother.
"Help me!Help!" an ear-piercing scream filled the air. We turned around and saw a boy, about ten, struggling to stay afloat. His face was pale and was screaming incoherently.
"Quick! Grab the coconut that is floating by!"shouted a boy.
"Are you mad? the coconut is so small. He should grab a trunk of the coconut tree. Here boy! There is one, grab it..."shouted another boy.
The on-lookers were shouting at the top of their voices and giving loads of suggestions to the boy but no one dared to save him from the strong currents of the waves.
"A heap of cowards!"thought my brother,"So busy shouting that they don't even know what should they do..."
Just then, a burly man, who was as fit as a fiddle, dived into the sea and saved the boy, who was still struggling frantically to stay afloat. He grabbed the boy and dragged him to the shore, with the "help" of the waves, pushing them towards the shore.
He laid the boy in an inclined position and do Cadio Pulmonary Resuscitation, forcing sea water out of his lungs. He was accidently jerked and he came to, splitting out seawater. The boy experience a feeling of weakness and blacked-out.
"Brother! Brother! Wake up please! You musn't die..."shouted a boy, pushing his body hardly.
The crowd adviced him to calm down but he couldn't. Maybe, they were very close.
Soon, the wailings of the sirens could be heard. Taking that someone had the initiative to call the ambulance, we heaved a sign of relief. The paramedics carried the blacked-out boy on the stretcher and left for the hospital.
The loud wailings soon died down. Since we had no mood to enjoy at the beach, we left, with a broad grin on our faces.
