Willis knew it was meaningless to argue with his older brother Jack. Their mother had packed some sandwiches and a large plastic bottle full of juice and allowed them to go wandering along the coast.
Jack was in charge (负责), Mother had said. Just because Jack was 15, two years older than him, their mother thought Jack was smarter. But he wasn't acting smart now. Even Tanya would not be so silly, and she was only 8.
"It isn't far," Jack said, "I can do it easily." They looked at the small island just off the beach. Jack was talking about swimming around the island.
"But it's a lot rougher (风浪很大的) once you get out of the bay." Willis said, "You know there are currents (水流) all along this coast."
"Look, who's in charge here?" Jack said.
"You are," said Willis.
"Right. Now you and Tanya stay here while I swim around this island. It should only take a short while." They watched as Jack waded (趟水) into the water and set off.
Willis opened the juice, filled two plastic cups and passed one to Tanya. After a while, Tanya said, "We'd better leave some sandwiches for Jack. He might be hungry when he gets back."
"He's been gone a long time." Willis said, "Let's see if he's made it." They walked down to the other side of the bay.
"Look!" Tanya screamed as she pointed. Jack was there – holding onto a rock, halfway out of the water.
Jack must have heard Tanya for he shouted, "Help! Help!"
"We've got to do something," said Willis. "But what? ... if only we had a rope."
"The sheep!" Tanya said, pointing to the low cliff (悬崖) behind the bay. "The sheep we saw when we were coming here. They were tied up with rope!"
