fruit suit juice bruise cruise suitcase chew
1 Captain Hugh packed his heavy brown suitcase. Inside went his finest navy suit and a pair of shiny blue boots. Today, he was set to lead a weekend harbor cruise with his good friend Drew.
2 The ship's galley was packed with crates of sweet, fresh fruit. The crew had loaded plump red grapes, ripe peaches, and fresh melon. "Be gentle with the ripe plums so you do not bruise the skin," Hugh told the crew as they worked.
3 As the big boat set off on its cruise, the passengers came to feast. They poured tall glasses of iced fruit juice. Drew took a small sip and smiled. "This sweet juice is the best thing to chew and sip on a hot summer day!" he cheered.
4 Just then, a sudden wave rocked the cruise ship! A splash of dark grape juice flew across the deck and landed right on Hugh's clean navy suit. Hugh laughed out loud. "A true sailor does not mind a bit of fruit juice!"
