Watch Out!
Kevin stepped off the tram and walked toward the ship, holding a
package tightly in his hands. He had been hired as a courier for an
important broker. All he needed to do was deliver a package to an
office in New York City; the ship would take him there.
When he boarded, the ship was congested with people. As Kevin
walked to his cabin, he saw the exclusive first-class section.
Everybody inside was wearing fancy garments. He would have liked to
socialize with the people inside, but it was against proper etiquette.
People paid a premium for the privilege to ride in first-class.
Instead, he went to his cabin next to the freight section of the boat.
His room smelled bad, and the floorboards were warped and deformed
in some areas. He could also hear the motor humming as it waited to
propel the ship forward. Suddenly, Kevin was unsettled by something,
but he wasn’t sure why.
He took a short walk on the ship’s deck, but he still felt strange.
That night, he suffered from insomnia—he couldn’t suppress his
obsessing over how strange he felt.
Kevin went back on deck. It was cold and dark outside. He looked
overboard, but it seemed that everything was all right. “ Just go back
inside,” he thought. Then Kevin saw it. A giant iceberg was sticking out
of the ocean in the distance!
“ Help!” he yelled.
People looked at him as if he was crazy, but he continued to shout
until he saw the captain.
“ There’s an iceberg out there,” Kevin said to him. “ If the shi doesn’t
move, we’re liable to crash,” he said, pointing toward the iceberg.
The captain saw it and immediately instructed the crew to change
the ship’s direction.
“Without your help, we would have definitely hit the iceberg. That
would have been a terrible disaster!” he said to Kevin.
Kevin felt relieved. Now he knew to always trust his intuitive sense.
