Retell the main events from the story Through the Tunnel, by Doris Lessing, as Jerry might tell them to his best friend when he returns from vacation.
"My mother and I went abroad for vacation, to a beautiful beach. But, guess what? On the first day there, I discovered a much interesting place. It was a wild beach, so different from the one we were on. I begged my mom to let me go there and she finally did, although I think she was not very convinced. Anyway, I did! I went there! You wouldn't believe how wonderful it was. I met some local boys there that could dive through a hole in a wall of rocks under the water. They went through the hole and came out in a different beach! And I tried! At first, it was hard, I had to prepare my lungs, it took me a few days to do it properly. Besides, you know how my nose always bleeds when I push myself so hard... It didn't matter to me, my mom was not happy with this. But I really wanted to do it! So I kept trying until, the day before coming back, I finally managed to do it. I was so happy!
When I got back home and told my mother she asked me not to do it again, she seemed worried and I agreed not to do it anymore. I just feel happy I could do it once and I am so proud! I loved this vacations!

Explanation:
By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.
James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.
