Shay is going on a cruise ship. It has always been her wish and now it’s her chance! The day in March arrives and she puts on a pretty shirt and her new shoes. As the ship leaves the harbour, Shay feels the fresh, chilly breeze and a splash of water as the engines turn. She looks over and sees some ±sh. She stays for hours to watch the sunset. That night, she has chicken and mash for supper. For dessert she has a piece of chocolate. There are so many fun activities to do on the ship. This is going to be a great trip!
