Island Adventure, Chapter Three

Recently, Joseph had been very lucky in his hunting and had been able to trade a lot of meat and animal skins, and had made enough money to buy either a Fleuve horse (Senegalese (country in north-west Africa) horse breed) or a N'Dama (north-west African cow breed, always light brown but different shades) cow. He decided on a Fleuve horse, as horses don't eat as much or need as much land. He built a fence around a piece of land about one and a half acres with about half an acre of it with a roof in case it rained, made of laurel (tree with very hard wood) wood. When he had finished building it, he went to a village and bought a bay (horse coat color. It is dark brown with a black mane and tail) Fleuve horse. After a few months he had enough money to buy a female N'Dama cow.

  1. WOW! He must have made a lot of money from hunting. Those animals seem expensive! I hope he has enough land for them.

    1. Well, he did have a lot of money, although a Fleuve horse is only a riding horse, not a racehorse, so it would only cost around 700 dollars, or 525 pounds.

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!
