　　Sam and Mike worked in the same office and they were friendly to each other. They often took their holidays together. Last summer the two young men went to a city by the sea for their holiday. They visited a few places of interest, swam in the sea and then lay on the sands or went out for a walk after supper. They had a good time there.

　　But one day, when they were swimming, a shark(鲨) swan to Sam and pulled the poor young man to the bottom(海底). Mike heard him calling for help and swam towards him in a hurry, but it was too late. The shark had swallowed Sam. Mike was very sad and returned to his city alone. In the train, he thought hard. Sam's mother had a heart disease(心脏病). He didn't know how to tell her about the bad news.
