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.

    Sounds like a lot of yummy things! I love dates. I've never had them straight from a tree, though!

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!
