After finding out that he was lost, Peter thought about what chance he had of surviving. All he had was a revolver with six bullets in it, a hunting knife, a pronghorn, a puma, a coyote and a dead buffalo. He skinned the buffalo, and then made a frame out of sticks that he stretched the hide and scraped the fat off it. Then he rubbed salt into it and put it in a pond nearby. Then he tried to start a fire to cook the meat. He gathered lots of wood from a nearby forest, and then tried to light a fire. He didn't have any matches, so he got a short branch and scraped the wood for a while, until it caught on fire (some tribes in Indonesia do that to start fires). Then he cooked the meat.
Kofi and Amadi are etheopians who live in the Bale mountains in ethiopia. About Kofi Kofi was a tall, strong man. He had a pet Gelada (sometimes called Gelada baboon: a kind of monkey with teeth as large as a leopard) called lion, after his large teeth and his small mane. He had a large spear. About Amadi Amadi was a medium-sized, athletic man. He had a pet Ethiopian wolf (also known as Abyssinian wolf or Ethiopian jackal. Similar in size to a coyote. Red and white) called Ember, after his redish color. He had a bow and arrows.
Wow! I didn't know that tribes in Indonesia do that! Anyway, one question Yan.... If he had so much food, then why was he worried? Was it because he couldn't cook it? And he had a revolver and a hunting knife, so why was he worried?
ReplyDeleteHe should of made smoke signals....
You can only make smoke signals with a blanket. Is this Mom or Hope, by the way.
DeletePlus he only had six bullets, and with a hunting knife you have to get really close to an animal to kill it.
DeleteWhat a great story!! Peter sounds very resourceful! Skinning a buffalo must have taken a long time. Good for him for being persistent with making a fire!
