One summer day

It was a fine summer day when Captain Cherif an old sea wolf considered going out with his boat named the "African Queen" .
So very early in the morning he started cruising at large in Hurgada bay in the Red Sea.

It was not before a long time when he heard on the local news that his good friends Adel And Mervat who sailed the same morning on the speed boat named MIMA before him this same morning were shipwrecked on one of the many islands of the Red sea. Adel and Mervat radio was broken before they could spell the name of the island.

After a couple of hours cruising and searching the surrounding islands in the area , Cherif could not find his friends anywhere .He kept calling  on his Radio  the name of their boat "Mima Mima.....Can you hear me????"...
 

But  nobody answered ..

Time was running fast the day was approaching to its end , the sun was becoming fainter and the wind and the waves were building up.
Captain Cherif  was starting  to worry , the sea was becoming rougher and rougher ..The Sharks were getting more hungry The clouds were gathering and they were becoming darker announcing a big storm.   Cherif , as a last hope , headed with his boat the "AFRICAN QUEEN" to a hidden and isolated island called ABU MONKAR .It was an island known to be a refuge of pirates and smugglers . After a strong and diffcult fight with the wind and the waves Cherif reached the island and to his great relief , he found his friends standing there ...beaten by the sun and the heat.They looked lost and stunned.

Cherif approached them and told them to get ready to go back to shore but Adel and Mervat surprised him by saying that they were very happy here and that they did not want to return to shore ever again.!!!!
Cherif was astonished and asked what on earth are you saying are you loosing your minds or something ???
NO!! said the couple we have decided to stay here forever because we have found ourselves a new boat . Adel and Mervat revealing to Cherif that they will not go back with him .
