Fernando and I were arguing about why I never took any real vacations．When he suggested we go off somewhere for three entire weeks，“You decide，”I said．

He chose a little fishing village off the coast and he planned out a schedule．Our trip was full of wormer and fun，but when we got there，the shabby hotel failed to satisfy us，so we left a day early for the beach．As we drove，we passed two orphanages（孤儿院）．Christmas was only a few days away，and I felt that I should stop to do something for the children．

Then Femando came up with a plan to help the poor children we saw．We made a list of names，and then we went into town to buy new clothes，toys，and school supplies．For the rest of the day，we filled backpacks．We were excited about the celebration we had plantted for the next day，December 26，when we'd invite the families to the beach in front of the hotel and hand out the presents．

    Fernando and I were still in bed at around 9：00 the next morning when we heard a cracking sound．“What is that?”I asked．As if in response．water started pouring into our room．The children's backpacks we had arranged so neatly on the floor began floating around．The next thing I knew was that the roof was torn off．and Fernando and I were swept out．

       I thought I was going to die．

       Under the water, I forced myself to calm down and then I popped out．Suddenly I saw Fernando only four feet away．

       “What just happened?”I asked Fernando．

       “Tsunami（海啸）!”，he shouted to me．“Just be strong．Whatever it was，”he told me，“It's all over now．”But a few seconds later，another wave buried us．I tried to grab him as he reached out to me，but he fell back under the water，and I never saw him again．
