The Found Boat

Boys and girls are profoundly different in each aspect. One may like bikes and the other may dislike bikes solely because the other favors it. Even as men and women, there is a sex difference between the two in terms of attitudes and personalities. It is as though the system of perfect equilibrium between the two genders is nonexistence, and this story is an example of that theory. In The Found Boat, the relationship between the kids were constantly changing due to their uncertainty and the changing nature of the two.

When the kids found the boat in the flood, they did what any other youngster would do, take it in for experimentation. Once they took the boat in, they wagered to see if it was possible to get the boat to float in waters again. They worked together by fixing the holes, testing the durability, and even painting the boat to fit their taste. And when they were done and brought the boat back out to the flood, it floated flawlessly; their teamwork was accounted for their success.

But in each step of the process in building the boat and sailing on it afterwards was unpredictable. At times, they would agree with each others ideas and continue to follow the ideas that were brought up. Other times, they argued intensively with demeaning yet playful remarks. Once they did use the boat to ride on the flood, they reached the end of the path and stumbled upon an old broken down station. Inside here, they peacefully ate snacks and sandwiches, and played Truth-or-Dare. They both took turns asking questions and giving dares, and they all followed the rules of the games, even to the end. When they were given the final dare to take off all their clothes, everyone did so concordantly. But once the girls and boys got separated, the girls decided to ditch the boys and go on their own.

The girls and boys were always uncertain of how they felt with each other. At times they despise each other, at other times they enjoyed each others company. One thing is for sure, they both act the same way towards each other.
