[00:01.20]The boat was on the inside

[00:03.77]of the huge whirlpool

[00:05.79]and we were going round in circles

[00:07.84]at great speed.

[00:10.08]I saw clearly that there were other objects

[00:12.49]in the whirlpool-trees and barrels 2.

[00:16.42]I noticed that the heavier objects

[00:18.62]went down more quickly

[00:19.67]than the smaller,lighter ones.

[00:22.76]So I tied myself to a barrel 1 to help me float.

[00:26.78]I tried to make my brother understand,

[00:29.62]but he was terrified

[00:30.73]and stayed in the heavy boat.

[00:33.08]Without waiting,

[00:35.01]I dived into the sea to try and escape.

[00:38.87]As you can see,I did escape.

[00:41.98]I will bring my story quickly to a conclusion.

[00:45.50]Some time after I left the boat,

[00:47.65]with my brother in it,

[00:49.34]it sank into the bottom of the whirlpool.

[00:52.33]Soon afterwards,the whirlpool

[00:54.27]became less violent.

[00:56.21]Then the sky was clear,

[00:58.11]the wind calmer and the moon was shining.

[01:01.85]I was still tied to the barrel

[01:04.36]and the waves soon carried me to an area

[01:07.33]where the other fishermen were.

[01:09.72]In the end,a boat picked me up.

[01:12.21]I was very tired.

[01:14.40]The fishermen were my old friends.

[01:16.75]but they were unable to recognize me.

[01:19.10]When I told them my story,

[01:21.21]they did not believe it.

[01:23.52]Now I have told you,

[01:25.47]and I cannot expect you to believe me

[01:27.90]more than the fishermen did.
