The boys ran over to their father and turned him over. He opened his eyes. "What happened?" asked John. "I fell of the canoe when the hippo went under it, and part of the canoe wall fell on me." He tried to get up he fell back. "Something's wrong", he said. Jack jumped up. "I'll get a doctor." "No", said Mathew, "there aren't any doctors around here. Besides, I know what a doctor would tell me if one was here. He would tell me to lie down and rest for a few days." "Let's bring you to camp." Said John.
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
