Monty travelled to school in a boat every day. The school was on the other side of the river, so he and his friends took the little ferry boat across. Monty’s friend Raja was a mischievous boy. “Raja, sit still; otherwise, the boat will tilt and you will all fall into the water!” the boatman would say. But still, Raja would not sit still! One day, the river was a bit choppy and the boat was being tossed from side to side. Raja bent over the side of the boat, and fell into the river! He would definitely have been drowned that day, but for Monty’s presence of mind. Monty grabbed onto his leg and did not let go. With the help of the other passengers, Monty was able to pull up a wet and scared Raja back into the boat. “That was the scariest moment of my life!” said Raja, thanking Monty.
