A time that i learned a lesson was when me and my step-dad went on a camping trip at the lake. when we got there it was almost dark so we started a fire and set up the tent. After we did that we felt like going out on the boat for a while, so we drove to the dock and put the boat in the water. Everything was going good until all the sudden the boat dies in the middle of the lake, and wouldn't start and we didn't have a paddle. We were out on the water the whole night til finally we drifted ashore. The lesson I learned then was to never go out on the water in a boat without a paddle.
