The Storm over the Sea

Loading image...

The wild geese are flying across the open sea when a terrible storm hits! The wind howls like a monster, tossing the geese up and down like leaves. Akka, the leader, cries out, "Don't go to sleep, wild geese! He that falls asleep is lost!"

Below you, the dark waves are crashing. You see seals popping their heads up, waiting for any bird that falls. You are clinging tightly to the back of Morten the Gander, wet and shivering.

Suddenly, through the rain, you spot a dark, rugged cliff rising out of the foam. It is Little Karl's Island. There is a small cave opening near the water.
