10. Saved

After a few more hours of floating in the frigid waters, they were kindly saved from the large blue sea by a crew of Romanian people on a fishing trawler, who spoke the Romanian language which the Hoo family, of course, couldn't understand. In fact, all attempts at communications were unsuccessful, partly because Ah-moe was trying to show them that he was clever and they should give the ship to him, and all jump into the sea. Or something to that extent.

The kind sailors finally gave up trying to comprehend them. They thought they must have picked up a bunch of idiots -- two teenagers quarelling and fighting with one another over no reason, one trying to push them away but got hit all the time instead, and the larger two constantly shouting incomprehensible words at each other.

Some others thought that maybe it's just fatigue and confused after being shipwrecked, but this group of people sure have a very wierd way of being fatigued or confused.

Seeing the great unknown animousity between the younger two children, they split the family into two rooms, with Ah-moe and Ah-mo in one room, and Ah-pui, Ah-mui and Ah-moo in another. A decision that changed the lives of Ah-moe and Ah-mo forever.
