It was a pleasant day. The birds were chirping and the sky was clear. Ravi and his friends decided to go on a picnic. They packed their food and planned to go to a nearby river, to do some boating, have fun and then they would came back. When they reached the place, they noticed many people had come there. They decided to hire a boat. The people advised them to take an experienced boatman with them, but they refused saying that they would handle the situation as they were eight in number. Soon their boat left the bank. Ravi put his hand in the river water enjoying the feel of water through his fingers. Suddenly it grew dark. They decided to turn back as they had gone very far away in the river but on the way back, they were hit by a rain storm. They did not know what to do. Suddenly, out of nowhere came a high wave which over turned their boat. They all fell into the water. They were scared. They tried to scream and call for help, but no words came out of their mouths. Two of them knew how to swim. They started helping two others and brought them out of the water. But when they jumped again, they could see only Ravi and Mohit. Their friends Suresh and Vimal were nowhere in sight. They were shocked. They helped Ravi and Mohit also come out of water. By this time, someone had informed the rescue team about the drowning of two youngsters. The rescue workers came into action and dived into the river water. They searched for two hours but could not find the two boys. Ravi and his friends were very sad as their number had reduced to six. They walked back home with a heavy heart.
