The Raft of the Medusa
Once upon a time, a really long time ago, there was a big ship called the Medusa. It was sailing on the ocean and it had lots and lots of people on it, all trying to go somewhere.
One day, the ship hit a big rock in the ocean and it broke apart. The people on the ship had to get onto some tiny boats that were floating in the water. But there were too many people for the boats, so some had to get onto a big floaty thing called a raft instead.
The raft was made out of some wood and some ropes, and it was really wobbly and unstable. The people on it were scared and hungry and thirsty, and they had no idea how to get back home.
They tried to sail the raft to safety, but the wind and the waves kept pushing them in the wrong direction. They were stuck on the raft for days and days and days, with barely any food or water. Some of them started to get sick or hurt, and some of them even died.
Finally, after almost two weeks, another ship saw them and rescued them. But only a few of the people on the raft were still alive. The rest had died from starvation or dehydration or other problems.
This story is called "The Raft of the Medusa," and it is a really important piece of art that shows how terrible things can happen to people when they're lost at sea. It is also a reminder that we need to take care of each other and work together to survive in difficult situations.
