"One stormy day, Santiago bought a ticket for a steamboat. He felt excited as he boarded, his heart beating like a drum. 'This is it, my journey begins,' he thought. The steamboat sailed north, through the wide, blue sea."

"Santiago brought a bag of his favorite foods for the journey. It was full of juicy grapefruit and crunchy nuts. He even brought a doughnut for a treat, though he saved it for a special moment. 'This is the life,' he thought as the steamboat sailed through the night."

"During his journey, Santiago met many new friends. He met a dolphin who taught him how to dive, and a warthog who shared his love for grapefruit. They all sought friendship and adventure, just like Santiago. He even shared his doughnut, which they all thought was delicious."

"Finally, after many days and nights, the steamboat reached the mainland. Santiago felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, but he knew he had made the right choice.
