Yep Desert Diary

(Sorry I haven't been writing. We've been very busy working on our house.) Shaurya was fishing in his new dam. He got a piece of Native American wild ass sinew, and tied it to a stick. Then he pulled a stone knife from a chital skin belt, and cut a piece about two inches long from a tree branch and sharpened both ends. Then he put a worm on each end, and tied it to the end of the sinew. He quickly caught a Tilapia and two Rohu (tilapia and rohu are both fish). He took the fish back to his hut, and cooked them.

Shaurya was making a dam so that fish would get stuck and he could catch them. First, he gathered lots of sticks and put them in a big pile in the river. Next, he packed mud between them to keep the dam from collapsing. When he was finished, the dam made it much easier for him to catch fish.

Shaurya ran through the treetops, dodging langurs and lion-tailed macaques (monkeys). He jumped of the branch he was on, grabbed a vine, and swung into the next tree. He started running the moment his feet touched the branch, and he leaped into the next tree. Then he grabbed his bow, which was strapped to his back, pulled an arrow out of a quiver that was also strapped to his back, and fired it at a target. It hit the bulls-eye, and Shaurya stopped, breathing hard. He had finished in one minute twelve seconds, which was one second faster than his old record. After he finished, he went for a swim in a nearby river.

Next week my family and I will move to the capital (that's why I haven't been writing lately. I've been helping to pack). The house that we're moving into is relatively big, although we are a large family, and it has a swimming pool. My parents chose it not because of the swimming pool, which isn't very big, but because it is the cheapest house that we can find that is big enough for  me and my family.

Shaurya was an Indian who lived in the jungle. He didn't know where any villages were, so everything he had was made by him. He had a pet Bengal tiger (the largest type of tiger except for Siberian tigers), called Stripe, and an Indian Spotted Eagle (the largest indian eagle) called Glider.     Stripe  Glider  

 David followed the tracks of the lion. All he had with him was the same kind of dart gun as the one in "Animal Collecting". He found the lion and shot it with one of the darts. It lay down, and soon was fast asleep. David ran to the nearby village, and hired a few men to help carry the lion. They brought it to the village, and found a bullet in the lion. They brought it to a doctor, who got the bullet out of the lion. Then, before it woke up, they released it into the wild.     The lion   The End
