Rosario was enjoying her vacation in the California sun. She was lying on a raft in the ocean. This was perfect, Rosario thought. There was no noise – no children screaming, no horns honking - there were no papers to grade. All she could hear was the crashing of the waves onto the beach. Rosario sighed and looked around her at the beauty of the ocean. Then she saw something long and gray coming toward her on an approaching wave. She thought, “This could only be one thing!” and started yelling for help. She paddled back to shore as quickly as she could. She made it to the shore in one piece, but she realized that many people were laughing at her.
