Lost in the Jungle - Ashely (February)
I was in a jungle safari. While we were looking for wild animals, I lost my group. I looked and wondered where to go. I looked side-to-side and front to back. I felt scared. My heart was pounding faster than a jackrabbit.
I walked in the yellow long wheat. I walked and walked. I soon was lost. The footprints of mine disappeared. I could not find my way back. Suddenly grey clouds rolled in the sky. Lightening flashed. I quickly went under a tree and covered myself with the leaves. The wind blew hard. Then raindrops fell. More and more raindrops came down. I fell asleep.
Finally, the wind stopped and the sun shined and a rainbow filled the sky. I ate the coconut I packed for a snack. I sat there and ate slowly, as slow as a turtle. Half was gone and I saved the rest.
Suddenly, “crick, crack, crick, crack!”. What could it be I thought? Rustle, rustle, rustle! “Buddy, Buddy!” a voice shouted. It seemed far away. In a split second, I knew it was my group. My group was opening their arms wide to hug me. I hugged my group. I wish I had never been lost. I felt happy to be back with my friendly group. |
