Ted Wilson walked along the beach. He wanted to be alone to think about his problems. Since he had lost his job,his life seemed to be full of problems.
Suddenly it started raining and he hurried back towards his car.
The soft dry sand of the beach slowed him down.Before he had gone fifty metres,he suddenly felt himself sinking into the sand. Within seconds,he had sunk in up to his waist. He realised that he had stepped into quicksand. When he tried to move,the sand pulled him deeper. The water soon covered his chest and continued to rise.
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 that he couldn't say a word. He shook Steve's hand,again and again,in silent thanks.
