Harry proves his intelligence finally!
Harry Mannering was very interested in computers and other electronic devices. He was twelve and had no siblings. He was a bright child. His parents earned very well and they owned a large house. He had no grandparents from neither his maternal family or paternal.

One day he came home after school screamed, “Mom! Dad! I have topped in the exams! I’ve topped the middle school in computers!” His parents had promised him that as summer vacation is starting, they shall take him on a cruise if he topped. There was only one week for vacations! And Harry was really excited! The week passed by {very slowly} and they started packing. The cruise was to leave U.S and go to Australia. The next day they left for the cruise. The cruise was indeed large.

The head of it was the richest of all. The Mannering’s spent the evening looking at the facilities of cruise and the night went by with the delicious dinner that Mr. Mannering thought that none of his cooks could make such delicious food! The Mannering got everything for free in the cruise [including the entry fees] as the head; Bill Joan was a close friend of his.

Everything was going on well until one day the person who takes care of the engine called out and said there was no more fuel left. He asked for more fuel, but they had got only that much fuel. The spread like wild fire till it reached Bill Joan who shouted a lot of angry words to the staff. The thought that the ship shall sink in another 1 hour made him even madder. The word reached the Mannerings and they were even more shocked.

Then Harry had a idea in his mind. But he didn’t tell it to anyone. He remembered that he had a friend name Marcus who was also sailing from U.S to Australia. He thought that if his ship was sailing near to Marcus’s father’s ship, he shall email him. He went to the control room and asked the staff to check if there was any other ship nearing theirs. The staff knew he had an idea. After some checking they told him the ship name otako- 7473-jd was near their ship. Yes, it was Marcus’s ship! He asked for a laptop and emailed Marcus’s father typing:

Hello uncle,

I am mailing you to tell that our ship is running out of fuel.

It will be kind if you sent some people in a life boat carrying fuel with them to our ship which is in the east. If there is problem in sending them back to your ship, let them stay in ours.

Thank you.

Kindly, Harry.

[P.S our ship is very close to yours. Your people can reach in 20 minutes.]



The helped arrived and she was saved.

Bill Joan was very pleased with Harry, though he knew his brainless staff should have done it.

It was Harry’s big day!
