Animal Collecting, Africa, Chapter Eight

Jack was going for a walk. He walked for about a mile, when he saw a caracal (medium African cat known for being able to jump ten feet high) about 2.5 feet long walking near him. He remembered that a zoo had asked his father to capture one for it. Slowly, to not startle it, Jack took a lasso from his belt and twirled it around his head. Suddenly he threw the noose over the caracals head. Strait away it jumped ten feet high and tried to escape. Jack knew that a caracal has very strong legs that it uses to jump ten feet high and run fifty mph, and that it was stronger than him, so he tied the end of the lasso to a tree branch and ran back to camp. When he told his father and John, they quickly sent a truck with a cage to pick up the caracal. Then Michael (their father) said that they had enough animals for that trip. Besides the hippo, three adult white lions, two white lion cubs and the black zebra, there were some other animals they had caught, such as a python, a buffalo, honey badgers, a giraffe, jackals, aardvarks, meerkats, warthogs and a serval.

    So did they untie the caracel and leave him there?

      They untied the caracal and two or three of them pulled it into a cage.

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!
