“What an amazing beach!” says Joe. He looks out the hotel room window, and then turns and smiles at his sister Ella.

Ella smiles back. “I know!” she says. “I’m so happy we’re here in New Zealand with Mom.”

Ella and Joe are from Canada. Their mom is working in New Zealand, and they are having a vacation.

“Let’s go to the beach,” says Joe. “We can swim and watch the sun go down.”

Ella and Joe walk on the beach. It is beautiful, and very long. Many other people are on the beach, too. Some people are in the water, and some are playing games on the sand.

“I love warm evenings!” says Joe as he looks at the ocean. “Oh, and look at that cool dragon boat on the water over there.”

“Oh, yes,” says Ella.

“It’s beautiful, and I love the golden color of the head!”

Joe laughs.

Next morning, Ella and Joe get up early. Mom is at work.

“Mom is always working,” Joe says. “She needs a vacation!”

“It’s a sunny day,” says Ella. “Let’s go back to the beach.”

Later on the beach, Ella sees a strange man in a dark hat. She watches him, and sees him go into a cave.

“Joe,” she says, “Look at that cave.

A man is in there! Let’s go and take a look.”

“You go,” Joe says. “I’m tired. I’ll wait here for you.”

Ella goes to the cave and looks in. It is very dark, and very long. Ella can see the man, but he is far from her. Ella wants to follow him, but she feels scared without Joe. A loud noise comes out of the cave and Ella jumps.

She quickly runs back to find Joe on the beach.

That evening, Joe, Ella, and Mom go to a pizza restaurant.

They sit at a table near the window. Suddenly two men come into the restaurant. One man is talking angrily to the other.

“That’s the man from the beach,” says Ella quietly. “The one in the dark hat. He’s the man from the cave.”

“Oh yes,” Joe says. “Well, he’s very angry now. The other man looks scared!”

The man with the hat is shouting now, and his face is red.

He kicks a chair and it falls and makes a loud noise.

“What is wrong with him?” asks Ella.

“I don’t know,” Mom says, “but I don’t like him.”

Next day the sun is hot. It’s a beautiful morning.

“Let’s go swim in the ocean,” Joe says.

At the beach, Ella sees the dragon boat again.

“Hey look!” she says to Joe. “It’s the same dragon boat, but now the dragon’s head is blue!”

“That’s strange,” says Joe. “Why is it blue?”

“Where is the golden one?” they say at the same time. Then they see the man in the dark hat. He gets off the dragon boat and walks up the beach.

“He’s going to the cave again,” Ella says. “Let’s follow him.”

Ella is excited now, but Joe is scared.

8/8/16 4:19 PM

The man goes into the cave. Ella and Joe are behind him. They walk quietly into the cave, and it suddenly gets dark. They can see the man in front of them, but he is walking quickly now.

“This cave is very long,” says Ella, “and very dark.”

“Let’s go back,” Joe says. “I don’t like this.”

“No, wait!” says Ella. “There is something strange about that man, and I want to find out what he is doing!”

8/8/16 4:19 PM

The man is far in front of them now. Suddenly he stops.

Ella and Joe are very quiet, and they move slowly and quietly.

Ella feels scared for the first time. As they get nearer, the cave gets very big.

Suddenly they see two more men. The man in the dark hat is talking to one of them.

“That’s the other man from the restaurant,” Ella says quietly to Joe. This man has a bag. He gives the bag to the man in the dark hat.

Ella and Joe move slowly and very quietly. The man in the dark hat opens the bag and looks inside. Ella and Joe can’t see into the bag, but the man in the dark hat smiles.

8/8/16 4:19 PM

Ella and Joe are near the three men now.

“What are they doing?” Joe asks quietly.

“I don’t know,” Ella answers. “But can you see the dragon heads over there? They’re from the boat on the beach.”

“Yes, look!” Joe says, “There’s the golden one!”

“What is in that bag?” says Joe. “I don’t know,” Ella says. “But I can find out!”

11

CS1-ING-PR5-4023-1-DRAGON BOAT-LA-M16.indd 11

8/8/16 4:19 PM

Ella moves nearer. The man in the dark hat puts the bag on the sand and Ella can see into it.

“It looks like jewelry!” she says excitedly. “A lot of it!”

As Ella moves, her foot hits a rock. The rock moves and makes a noise, and the man in the dark hat turns.

“What is that?” he says.

Ella stops. She doesn’t move. It is dark where she is. Can he see her?

Suddenly the man starts to shout.

Now he can see her!

“Quick, run!” Ella says to Joe, and she starts to move.

Joe stands up quickly. It is dark and he can’t see very well, but he starts to run. The man follows them.

He is running now, too.

8/8/16 4:19 PM

The man in the dark hat shouts angrily as he runs.

“Hey, you two! Stop! Come back!”

Ella and Joe are scared. They are running fast now, but the cave is very long.

Suddenly Joe falls.

“Quick, Joe,” Ella shouts. “Get up. He’s coming!”

Joe starts to get up, but his feet are sliding on the sand. The man is very near them now.

“I can see the beach,” shouts Ella. “We’re nearly there.”

But as Joe gets up, the man in the dark hat grabs his arm. Joe shouts to Ella, and Ella turns.

13

CS1-ING-PR5-4023-1-DRAGON BOAT-LA-M16.indd 13

8/8/16 4:19 PM

“Oh no!” Ella shouts and runs back to Joe. The man in the dark hat has Joe’s arm and is shouting at him, “You two are coming with me!” The man’s face is red and he is very angry.

Ella doesn’t stop to think. She picks up a rock and runs at the man. She hits him on the head with the rock, and his hat falls onto the sand.

The man shouts and grabs his head.

He lets go of Joe, and Ella quickly takes Joe’s arm. They run out of the cave as fast as they can.

8/8/16 4:19 PM

Ella and Joe run onto the beach. They are very scared now.

“Quick. Let’s go back to the hotel,” Joe says. “We are safe there, and we can find Mom.” Ella looks back. The man in the dark hat is coming out of the cave.

“Let’s go,” says Ella quietly.

“I don’t know what he’s doing, but he’s not a nice man.”

The beach is long, and Joe and Ella are running quickly. They can see the hotel in front of them. Ella smiles.

“I feel safe now,” she says as they walk into the hotel.

But the man in the dark hat is behind them.

They can’t see him, but he is following them. He watches them.

Then he walks into the hotel, too.

15

CS1-ING-PR5-4023-1-DRAGON BOAT-LA-M16.indd 15

8/8/16 4:19 PM

In their hotel room, Ella and Joe sit on the bed. Joe is white.

“I’m scared,” says Ella. “What are we going to do?

Where’s Mom?” “I don’t know,” Joe answers. “But we’re safe here.

The man in the dark hat doesn’t know our hotel.”

“Yes, you’re right,” Ella says. “Let’s just forget about it.”

She smiles at Joe. Joe smiles back, but Ella can see he is scared.

“I’m going downstairs to find Mom,” Joe says, and he walks to the door.

16

CS1-ING-PR5-4023-1-DRAGON BOAT-LA-M16.indd 16

8/8/16 4:19 PM

When Joe comes down the stairs, he gets a bad surprise. He sees the man in the dark hat. He is in the hotel!

Joe hides behind a plant so the man can’t see him. The man is talking quietly to a hotel worker. She is smiling, but the man looks angry. He gives her something, and she stops smiling.

Then he says something and the woman looks scared.

The man in the dark hat turns and walks out the hotel.

The hotel worker watches him leave. Then she looks at the paper in her hand.

Joe runs up the stairs as fast as he can and back into their room.

“He’s here!” he says to Ella.
