Question

Another day day I went swimming with my friends in the sea．1 wanted to play a joke on them．In the beginning I swam fast and I called out“Help!”All my friends came to help me．However，they found that I was joking．But half an hour later I wasn’t joking．I was so fast，soon I got tired and couldn’t swim on in water.I tried my best to call my friends for help，but this time nobody came to help me．
