Gilson, Humberto, and Ronald were inseparable friends. The three of them had known each other since they had studied elementary education. He spent his childhood, came to youth and remained friends. They got married and although the weather got shorter they continued to be seen on weekends. Sometimes the three of them would go out alone when the program they were going to enjoy was only suitable for men: games, fishing, adventure tours. One weekend, they combined a boat trip in the surroundings of the beautiful Angra dos Reis. They prepared everything: They prepared a nice barbecue, took some caipirinhas and a lot of soda. In addition, they brought with them a powerful sound system to perform some samba classics. The party was hectic and the party too. In this shuttle, Gilson approached the end of the boat without realizing it, because the weather was cloudy and the fog began to thicken, making it impossible for him to see clearly where they were. The party's pace slowed and they decided to rest a little. Plumb! The noise of something falling into the water and the shrill scream of someone caught the attention of everyone. It was Gilson: A slipping unbalanced him and his body was thrown under the waters. I cannot swim! She screamed.

Humberto pondered and said, "I do not know how to swim, either." I'm not going to risk it because I have children to raise.

Ronald felt himself shudder inside and was moved by his colleague's situation. He said, "I do not know how to swim, either. However, he is my friend and I will not leave him alone in this difficult situation.

Another noise: Plumb! Ronaldo threw himself into the stormy waters to help him. Wrapped in haze, he shouted his name in order to locate him. Something cleared his way and found Gilson almost out of breath and unable to swim. When Gilson saw him, he exclaimed, "You should not have come." I know you do not swim either. We're going to succumb together!

Ronald replied, "I do not care. Do you remember how you helped me in that desperate financial crisis? My family and I are grateful to this day. We owe you life. Because of this and the person you are, I do not mind losing you if you have to.

Ronald embraced Gilson and gave him all the reserve power he had. This made him resist for a while longer. Exhausted by exhaustion, they drowned when suddenly a mighty hand held them up. We are saved! They both shouted with happiness. They were on a small boat guided by a strange man who had not shown up. They both questioned him. Where did you come from? Who are you? How did you find us? The strange guide exclaimed, "So many questions!" The important thing is that you are well. Well, my name is Pedro and I'm a fisherman. I was fishing in this area and I found you almost drowning. They were not to enter the sea without the skill of swimming. It's very dangerous. Gilson and Ronald again embrace and thank the heavens for being alive. Peter commented: Your friendship is what saved you. I'm not here because I want to and because they sent me. I'm just steering the boat. I did not save them. The hand that pulled them out of the water was the same one that once pulled me. With him, I learned the true meaning of what it is to be a true friend: He gave his own life to save us. He told me he would do it all over again if necessary. He is the way, the truth and the life. Keep it up, friends like you are today. Let intrigue and envy never scatter them. Remember: Those who seek to protect their life will lose it. But whoever loses it for love will find it. You have been given a new opportunity: Go home and believe in Jesus Christ.

A numbness fell on them and when they awoke they were on dry land. They got up without really understanding why they were there. Their memories were erased and the only thing they felt was that their friendship was capable of withstanding the stormy fury of the waters.
