ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Steven Callahan

Okay kiddo, so there was a man named Steven Callahan who loved sailing. He wanted to sail across the ocean all by himself, which was a very big and scary challenge. But Steven was brave, so he set off on his journey.

While he was sailing, something bad happened. His boat got damaged and started to sink. Steven had to quickly jump into a little life raft to stay safe. He was all alone and scared in the middle of the ocean with no food or water.

But Steven didn't give up. He was very smart and cunning, so he figured out how to catch fish to eat and collect rainwater to drink. He also used his handy skills to fix his little raft so he could stay afloat.

Steven was in the raft for a whopping 76 days! That's almost three months, wow! He was finally rescued by some sailors passing by, and was taken to safety.

People were amazed by Steven's bravery and resourcefulness during this scary time. His story has inspired many people to never give up, no matter how hard things may seem.
