Peter was riding Dash, with Copper and Wolf, and stopped to rest. He didn't have any meat, so when he saw a buffalo stampede he chased them on Dash and shot one with his revolver. When the dust from the stampede cleared, Peter looked around and realised that he was lost.
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
Did Peter really kill the buffalo with only one shot? Do you think Dash knew where he was when he was lost? Horses seem to be smart.
