Island Adventure, Chapter Four

 Joseph was riding on his horse, who he had named Blaze, when he saw something flashing in the sun. He stopped Blaze, and walked over to investegate. It turned out to be a shiny, blue rock. Joseph picked it up, and rode to a village nearby where there was a gem expert. When he got to the village, he went to the gem expert, who told him that it was a 1.4 carat sapphire (precious gem), and that it was worth 2,800 dollars (2,097 pounds)! He bought it from Joseph, and then Joseph made Blaze's pen much bigger, made a chicken pen, and then bought ten Ovambo (african chicken breed) hens, one Ovambo rooster, a donkey, a bay mule (a cross between a jack (male donkey) and a mare (female horse) and a bull N'Dama cow (in the last chapter Joseph bought a female one, remember?). With all of those animals, he could make a living, but he prefered to live in the wild, like before.

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!
