His head reappeared with blood. Albert cried out in agony, "Get away, Shirley! Get away! It's a shark!” Albert didn't want her help.Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert's words rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she turned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.The water was full of red blood. She reached for Alberfs hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert's chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet and stroking（划水）with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friends? Shirley was getting tired. Alberfs body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn't let go. She wouldn't leave her friend.Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exhausted. She could go no farther.
