Jacques Yves Cousteau-explorer extrordinaire

Jacques Cousteau was a french explorer.  He explored the oceans.  Many people have heard that he used to have his own T.V show.  But that's not what this post is about.  This post is about how he became to be a explorer.  Lets start when he was a teenager.  When he was a teenager world war two was going on.  He was very brave and helped the british spy on Germany.  He was very successfull, so a couple years later he was going to become a naval pilot.  But when that was about to happen he got in a really bad car crash.  He puntured his left arm in five different places broke three of his ribs, paralyzed his right arm, and worst of all killed his dream of becoming a naval pilot- he couldn't fly with his right arm paralyzed!  As soon as he got down from the mountain he went strait to see a doctor.  The doctor told him that this was a serious ingery and that it needed to heal.  Jacques Cousteau asked him how and the doctor said to swim so the doctor lent Cousteau some swim goggles.  As soon Jacques felt up to it he went down into the ocean.  In just a couple seconds cousteau relized that he had a new passion to replace flying.  A couple years later-when cousteau was old enough to have his own boat he leased one.  The ships name was Calypso.  Cousteau leased it for less than one dollar every  year-but that was back in the olden days!  After that Jacques Cousteau kept exploring untill he died on June 25 1998.  But there is absolutly still room in peoples brains for him, afterall he is extrordinary!
