We Survived Getting Swallowed by a Whale
Respect and revere（敬畏）nature. I’m Julie，56 years old，living in San Luis Obispo，California，about four miles from the beach. Every few years，the humpback whales come into the bay for several days while migrating.
In November 2020，the whales were around，so I took out my yellow double kayak（皮划艇）to watch the wildlife. I paddled out the pier（长堤）and saw seals，dolphins，and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. They sprayed through their blowholes. Each one is huge，about 15 metres long. Sometimes they turned side fins as if waving at me. It was incredible.
At the time，my friend Liz was with me. We had met 28 years earlier. I asked Liz if she wanted to see the whales. I really wanted to share the magnificent experience with her.
“No way，” she said. She’s terrified of whales and sharks. I promised that the craft was stable and safe enough. Moreover，humpback whales couldn’t swallow down kayaks for their throats were tight even though they had enormous mouths and white - wall - like internal mouth structures，not to mention that we got paddles and life jackets. After some persuasion，Liz finally agreed.
We set off at about 8:30 the next morning. There were already about 15 other kayakers in the bay. One hour later，I spotted two whales right past the pier，swimming towards us. We were in awe，feeling amazed to be so close to a creature that size.
When whales swam down after breaching（跃身激浪），they disappeared in ripples. I figured if we paddled there，we’d be safe since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. I later learnt that it’s recommended to keep 90 metres away，or about the length of a football field. We were probably 18 metres away.
All of a sudden，a swarm（群）of fish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Their movement sounded like crackling glass. Now I knew we were too close. I was terrified. Then our kayak was lifted out of the water—about two metres—and tipped back into the ocean. I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow，and I had no idea how deep.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I didn’t realise that Liz and I sitting in the kayak were in the whale’s mouth.
It had engulfed my entire body except for my right arm and paddle. Liz, meanwhile, was looking up directly into the whale's jaw—it was like a big white wall. She told me later she thought she was going to die. I was still worried about being sucked down by the vacuum, so I just kept thinking that I had to get up and fight this. Whales have enormous mouths but tiny throats. They spit out anything they can't swallow. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water about a metre apart. The entire ordeal lasted only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity.
Thankfully，the whale spitted us out，people paddling to help，shooting videos.
A few people were nearby, and someone shot a video of the entire incident. A few days later, I studied the video and saw how close I'd come to being injured or killed. I became so much more appreciative of life after that day. There's no way I'm getting that close to whales again. I want to respect their space and now I'm very aware of the power of nature.
