it was the start of the school holidays and i'd gone to Tanzania, to visit my friend Rachel. and, it was surprising my dad had allowed me to go because he didn't used to allow his children to, leave the country. in fact, leave the house, let alone the country. so, i went to visit Rachel and, um, it was hotter than i thought. much hotter in Tanzania than it normally is in Kenya. and Rachel, was not, uh, very used to the heat as well, because, she had grown up in Kenya. and, uh, it was a- generally hotter than it normally is on any day in any part of the world.

we had to take turns keeping cool in the bathroom. in the bathtub, because there was no shower. so, we filled the tub with ho_ with cold water and just sit in there. and, we decided to go swimming. although the closest pool was very, very far away. so, we decided to go and swim in a river. only we didn't tell anyone where we were going. so, um, we dressed up in light clothes. and we walked to the river. we got teased on the way, because people in Tanzania don't dress in shorts and small T-shirts. but, we were only sixteen at the time. and, we really wanted to dress in what we liked. so, we wore those.

and when we got to the river. there was this path that goes under the bridge. and, we thought it was a nice cool place to swim. so we, we had our swimming_ swimsuits on, and we slipped into the water and started swimming. i wasn't a very good swimmer, but Rachel had been swimming, all her life. so, as we were swimming i noticed that there was a rock moving towards us. um, and, um, every time i looked it was coming closer. and, it was only when it was about, five feet away, that i realized it wasn't a rock. and i screamed to Rachel to get out of the river. but, she hadn't, heard me and she kept swimming away. and... suddenly, the rock, opened it's mouth and it just turned out to be a crocodile.

and i screamed at that point, and Rachel heard me. and we scrambled for the river bank. we scrambled out of the water. but it was very slippery because of the mud. and, we kept sli_ sliding back in. um, Rachel_ Rachel managed to get out, and she scrambled to safety. and she dragged me out just before that crocodile locked on my leg. and, we ran for our lives. and that was the last time, i've swum in a river in Africa. and i'll never do it again.
