Island Adventure, Chapter Two




 After a breakfast of houbara bustard (bird) meat, coconut milk, cactus fruit and pineapple, Joseph went to see if a cornfield that he'd planted was ready to be harvested. It was, and he went home and brought an iron sickle to harvest the corn. After a while, it was all harvested, and Joseph went looking for other edible plants. He found a few baobab trees (large trees, common where I lived most of my life so far. They have some white fruit inside of hard pods), and picked their fruit. After a while he found an opuntia (commonly known as prickly pear) cactus and gathered the fruit. He also found a date palm (a kind of palm tree that grows dates (slightly sweet, chewy fruit, with an oval seed in the middle)), climbed it, plucked the dates, and went home.

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!
