Read the following passage and answer the questions.The sun was setting over the horizon as the small boat approached the shore. The waves were calm, but the sky was filled with dark clouds, hinting at an upcoming storm. A young boy sat at the edge of the boat, his eyes fixed on the distant lighthouse. He had heard stories of its keeper, an old man who lived alone on the rocky island.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, and the boat began to shake violently. The boy lost his balance and fell into the water. He struggled to swim back, but the waves were too strong. Just as he felt hopeless, a hand reached out and pulled him to safety.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, cozy room. The old lighthouse keeper was sitting beside him, smiling warmly. The boy realized that sometimes, even in the most unexpected moments, kindness can come from strangers.
