As a lifeguard, Sue knew exactly what to do. Racing into the ocean, she leaped and crashed through the rough waves. Sue swam to the spot where the boy had pointed. Taking a deep breath, she dove to the bottom, opened her eyes, and began searching everywhere. As she surfaced, a wave buried her and shoved her under again.

Gasping and exhausted, Sue finally resurfaced, and she saw a crowd of people on shore. "Here she is!" they called.
