the early evening air was cool and mild as ted wilson walked along the almost-deserted beach. he wanted to be completely alone to think about his problems.
since he had lost his job,his life seemed to be full of problems.
after what had happened, ted realised that losing a job wasn't the worst thing that could happen to someone. he was glad to be alive,and felt sure that everything would be all right in the end.
walking to the far end of the beach, ted was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the dark clouds which had gathered overhead. when the first heavy drops of rain began to fall,he looked up in surprise and hurried back towards his car. the soft dry sand of the beach slowed him down,so he started running on the hard sand at the water's edge. before he had gone fifty metres,though,he suddenly felt himself sinking into the sad. within seconds, he had sunk in up to his wait. he realised to his horror that he had stepped into quicksand. when he tried to move, the sand pulled him deeper-and the tide was coming! the water soon covered his chest, and continued to rise. "help! " he shouted desperately. "help! i'm going to drown! "
steve macdonald was looking for shells at the other end of the beach when he heard ted's cries. by the time steve reached him,the water was up to ted's chin and he was in real danger. steve grabbed his arms,pulled him out of the quicksand and helped him to safety.ted was so relieved to have escaped that he couldn't say a word. he shook steve's hand, again and again, in silent thanks.
