I will tell you a story that is only half true. I first went out of the country when I was about 20 years old. Some friends and I went to Hawaii on a vacation. During our trip, we spent most of the time lying around the beach. One night, we went on a moonlight cruise. The boat we went on had a glass bottom, so we could see all the beautiful sea life floating underneath us. The moonlight would hit the glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea creatures to seem almost mythological. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. So enraptured with nature were we that we didn’t see the boat approaching ours. Imagine my surprise when our boat tour was boarded by pirates. We were literally scared speechless. Luckily, they didn’t speak a language we could understand anyway. Everyone had to surrender all of their valuable items. I lost my camera with all of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs I had received as a high school graduation present, and my favorite watch. But thank goodness that was all I lost. And the story I lived to tell was more than worth it. 13 Select the correct answer. This story is written for entertainment purposes.

the answer would be b.
