The turtle slowly walked off as I was watching her. I like to name stuff and she saved my life along with Snickers the dolphin. Roxy was a good name I think. She saved me in a way out of my deep sleep. I went back further into the island where I saw something….
Someone was here before! No one was there now but there was a hut, with four sides, with a bird on top. Why was the bird there? Soon a few more showed up ghting over something. Colorful they were but it meant something. This was home to them and there was something to eat!
That didn’t work out like I planned. The birds were eating stinky sh while my stomach was growling. I slept in that little hut until I saw the sun coming up the next morning. I was hungry but to see the sun come up I was so excited! Not that I knew I would get out of here but that I made it another day.
Dad taught me the rules many years ago. You can go without food but not water. I was really hungry but dad said water rst. I headed deeper inland. I walked keeping my eye on my sort of hut. I did not have a line like a rope or string to tie to it and be able to follow it back to the hut if I got lost. So I kept looking over my shoulder every minute to make sure where it was.
There was a hill I was going up so I could see down below. I could see where I needed to go back but what if I made an error? I was only ten years old. I kept going up the hill, looking back every few seconds. I was lost! How could this be any worse up here? I didn’t even know what island I was on. I was hungry and thirsty. But I could see where the ocean was so I could always make it back to the beach. My con dence grew stronger.
Snickers!
