John and Paul lived in a nice house at the seaside. It was a great place to live in, especially if the weather was

could see all sorts of things, children who were running around on the beach, or swimming in the sea or
building sand castles. If they were lucky they could also see lots of different ships.
One day they were sitting on Paul’s sofa and were looking out of the window, when suddenly they heard a
terrible noise. They looked up into the sky and saw a plane burning. Then they saw how it crashed straight
into the sea. A few seconds later they also saw the pilot. Fortunately, he was coming down with his parachute.
The boys ran to the phone and called for help. A few minutes later they saw a helicopter flying around and
looking for the pilot. Luckily, they found him and pulled him out of the water with their special equipment.
Some days later, the pilot came round to the boys’ house and gave them a reward for saving his life.
