The Amazing Amazon Adventure, Introduction

Introduction  

John lived in the Amazon rainforest with his pet harpy eagle, who he had named King because the feathers on his head looked like a crown. He also had some tapirs that he kept in a cage made of logs, which he milked every day (he milked the tapirs, not the cage), and a pet emperor tamarin, named Mustache. He had a log house (he cut down the trees with an axe that he got in a village), and sometimes he went to a nearby village to trade. He went hunting every day with a bow he had, and King tried to get a sloth, monkey a parrot or  anything else that he could catch. I hope you enjoy!

    I looked up the definition of elaborate. It means to explain with great care and detail.
    The definition of characteristics means to give a feature or quality of a person, place, or thing, In other words, to describe it. Love, Grandma

      Well, their are lots of different kinds of tamarins and marmosets (marmoset is another word for tamarin). Emperor tamarins are black with white mustaches, golden lion tamarins are gold, white-mantled tamarins are brown with white paws and have a white, fluffy patch of hair on their heads, saddleback tamarins are black with a reddish-brown "saddle" on their back, and pygmy marmosets are light brown. All of them are about the size of a squirrel, and their are about fifteen other kinds of tamarins and marmosets. Tapirs are grey, and look like pigs with a trunk about half a foot long.

No school!

My sisters and I are home schooled, and the last week we didn't have to do school, doing fun activities instead, such as volleyball, egg and spoon race, and a game in which there are two teams who take turns carrying as much water as they can from one bowl to another in cups on their heads, spilling as least water as they can. The team with the most water in the 2nd bowl at the end of the game wins!
