Yesterday we went bike riding in the rice fields, a cluster of fields which farmers grow their crops in. It was VERY fun! Though it wasn't green yet, it will be in a couple of months. Their was a small hill about 4 feet tall that we often rode up and coasted down. Last year when we went there, I rode about 4 miles with my Chinese friend, the same one we went to visit in my earlier posts, "Going Away" and "Glad to be Back".
Peter was going on a trip to the Galapagos islands (a group of islands about 2,600 miles away from America, famous for having many animals on it that only live there, such as the Galapagos tortoise and the Marine iguana). One night, he woke up in the midde of a storm, with his boat sinking! The boat didn't have any lifeboats, so Peter grabbed a gun, bullets, gunpowder and a bag of corn, threw a barrel overboard, dived in after it, and swam to one of the Galapagos islands that was nearby, resting on the barrel when he was tired. Unluckily, it was uninhabited (nobody lived on it), but he at least survived the storm. Two and a half years later, he lived in a large cave, had a pet Galapagos hawk (a large, brown hawk breed. The main predator of the Galapagos islands) called Flyer and owned a large cornfield. Galapagos Hawk
That's awesome, Yan! Four miles is a lot. Have you been bike riding with your friend where he lives now, or mostly just near where you are living now? And have you ever harvested some rice before? -Abigail
ReplyDeleteIve never harvested rice, and we used to live where he lives now.
