Chapter 1 – The Ship of Dreams<br />
A<br />
The <strong>Titanic</strong> sailed past two<br />
other ships, the Oceanic<br />
and the New York.<br />
B<br />
Because the <strong>Titanic</strong> was<br />
so big, the New York was<br />
pulled closer toward it. The<br />
ropes broke on the smaller<br />
ship. It began to float<br />
toward the <strong>Titanic</strong>.<br />
C<br />
Luckily, a small boat was<br />
able to tie a rope onto the<br />
New York. It pulled the<br />
smaller ship out of the<br />
way.<br />

was the unsinkable <strong>Titanic</strong> !<br />
rope /roUp/ (n) something long, strong, and thick. It is used to tie two things together.<br />
