The story of Ragnar and Eustakia
Chapter 1
The storm was approaching. Ragnar sat in the ship hoping that everything would be okay but it didn´t seem that way. The waves were growing bigger, the wind was getting stronger and the black clouds were moving closer. This was a the worst day of Ragnar´s life. He had been at sea for exactly three months and 14 days and he was so tired of it. He just wanted to go back home. The storm was getting closer and closer and Ragnar could hear the waves crashing on the ship. He was frightened, he didn´t know what to do. He was panicking, just like the rest of the fishermen on the ship. He closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, imagining that when he would open his eyes he´d be happy, he´d be a husband, a father, a friend, but when he opened his eyes and he was still on the ship, in the storm, headed nowhere.
Chapter 2
„Oh no I´m so late!“ said Eustakia as she was hurrying to pick up Pepito, her seven year old son. She ran out of her apartment and as she closed the door she realized that she forgot her keys inside. She walked to get Pepito and since she couldn´t get into her apartment any time soon, she took her son out for ice cream down by the harbour. They sat there, licking their ice cream and looking out on the sea. Pepito loves ships and boats and there for he loved going to the harbour to look at all the cool boats. "Come on Pepito, we have to go home, the neighbour’s are going to open up for us." Pepito ran alongside his mom and wondered if he could ever go on board on one of those fancy boats.
Chapter 3
Eustakia was a well-off lady after winning the lottery years ago. But ultimately this lucky strike caused her a lot of trouble: she was robbed and somebody tried to kill her. She had to fight for her life bravely. But after that troublesome period, she is relatively happy. She lives with her kid leading a quiet and easy life... but also a somewhat lonely one. When she sits down by the harbour licking an ice cream beside her son Pepito, she sometimes looks at the immense sea and thinks 'I need a companion'.
Chapter 4
The storm had past and Ragnar was so happy but the boat is very damaged. The fishermen were lost and on a boat that barely works. But then they see land far, far away, so the fishermen headed there with nothing but a ruined ship. As they get closer to the land they see that there is a harbour very close by. When they arrive at the harbour they don’t know what to do. Ragnar gets off the boat. exhausted. He is hungry and tired. As he is standing on the harbour with the rest of the fishermen, not knowing what to do he spots and ice cream stand. So, he goes to get some ice cream for all of the fishermen. While he was standing in line for the ice cream a little kid comes running up to him.
"Is that your boat?" the boy asked very excitedly.
"Yes, it is." Ragnar said in a hurry trying to see if he could find this boy´s parent. And that is when he met Eustakia.
Chapter 5
Ragnar´s boat was completely ruined and unfixable so Ragnar was stuck in this foreign land that he knew nothing about. Luckily, he met Eustakia and they became good friends. She helped Ragnar adjust to his new home, she helped him get a new job and earn some money and over time Eustakia and Ragnar fell in love. Ragnar found it very hard to move to this foreign country. He didn´t have anything, no clothes, no stuff and very little money. He didn´t even speak the language. He could never had done it without Eustakia.
