Missing in Venice

The time she’d gone too far. Even with her mighty engines in reverses, the ocean liner was pulled further and further into the canal.One day in 1892 on a hot summer day there was a advertisement in the newspaper.That was talking about a new cruise ship.Bob Authier was offering one hundred families a free cruise on his new ship.Every family in New York City wanted to win contest to go to venice, Italy.The Johnson’s family wanted to go on family vacation for a while now,because Mr.Johnson promised his wife and daughter a trip. One of his friends in the office was reading the newspaper and mentioned to Bob that there is a contest for a free cruise. Bob was suspicious about the article so he left and went to a paper shop to get a newspaper. He finally read the article and at that moment a guy walked in and had a paper for people to fill out to enter the contest.Mr.Johnson was weirded out by how the guy knew that he was interested in the advertisement. Mr.Johnson didn’t want to sign it yet just in case it wasn’t official. Later that night when he got home his family was already eating dinner. His wife could tell something was up ,so she asked “What happened today?Why are you so shaky?” He just went to the table and looked at his family and said “I have something to tell you guys.” His family looked at him confused about what he was talking about. His family wanted to know what was wrong so they asked what it was and he said “ Do you guys want to go on a family cruise ?” Mrs.Johnson looked at her kids and her husband confused then said, “we don’t have the money for a trip right now.” Mr.Johnson knew his wife was going to say that so he brought home the advertisement and gave it to his wife. She read the article and she had a happy but confused face. She excused her children from the table.
