Australian Adventure, Chapter One

 Chapter One

Thomas went to a river to fish. He caught two eel-tailed catfish and a golden perch using a fishing rod that he had bought at his last trip to town. Then he went foraging for edible plants and found a midyim berry (kind of berry, similar to blueberry but white) plant and a brown pine (tree - it grows Illawarra plums). Then he went home and cooked the fish and then he and Herder ate it. After that, Thomas cut down a small wollemi pine tree and dragged it into the cow pen.

    It sounds like Thomas had a very productive day! I have never hear of those kinds of plums nor of the midyim berries. I love learning from you Yan! Love, Grandma

Galapagos Adventure, Introduction

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

Going Sailing

Last holiday my family & I went sailing. First we got on a small boat, and then sailed to a bigger one, which we sailed on for about an hour. I got a weird feeling that I sometimes get on airplanes when the boat went over the waves. I hope we go again sometime!
