o04. "You think you're Noah or something?"

Pi’s journey to Canada takes an unexpected twist when the cargo ship he’s on begins to sink. Unaware what to do in such a perilous situation, Pi is thrown onto a lifeboat. As Pi, a leaping zebra and the boat reach the ocean’s surface, Pi notices a beloved friend in the ocean, struggling to save his own life. Pi’s heart is filled with joy as he tries to save and encourage his friend, Richard Parker. That is, until Pi regains his sense of reality and takes in the fact that Richard Parker is a full-grown, and extremely dangerous tiger. Of course, by then it’s too late and the tiger boards the boat. Pi manoeuvres a way to sit off the side of the boat on an oar in order to prevent a brutal fatality. However, in time he realizes that the tiger has, for whatever reason, fled from the boat and in its place is a stowaway hyena and an orang-utan. Pi’s aspirations of being rescued, and being reunited with his family are crushed after two strenuous nights pass. Finally, hunger strikes the hyena, leaving the helpless, butchered zebra barely alive. Pi is fortunate to not have been eaten by the hyena, or by the sharks that surround the boat, but how long can this luck last? Will Pi be rescued in time, if at all? And what curious fate has Richard Parker met?
