Animal Collecting, Africa, Chapter Four

After their fathers injury, Jack and John had to catch animals by themselves. One day, as they were going for a walk, they heard a roar, and when they looked around they saw a male white lion about fifty meters away from them (white lions are not albino, but they are a rare color mutation of a normal lion similar to albinism). They knew that they should not run, as a lions top speed it 50 mph and the fastest human, U. Bolt's, top speed is only 28 mph, and that they should stare at the lions eye and slowly back of, which they did, until they were out of sight. Then they sprinted back to their camp, where they told their father about what happened. "One thing's for sure", declared Jack, "we're going to try to catch that lion!"

  1. I didn't really know that staring at their eyes, then backing off is the best thing to do. Now, I know! How in the world are they going to catch it?? I can't wait to read about it.

    1. Yes, if a lion or usually any cat attacks you you should stare it in the eye and slowly back off, except a leopard, which you should back off slowly but not look in the eye. The reason why you should do that is that almost any wild cat can run faster than you, and it will chase you if you run.

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!
