The next day my older sister, Golden, came looking for me because my mother was worried about me. She knew every place in the rain forest. In my opinion she would have an easier time searching for me than my mother or my friends. My sister was looking for me and she had some of her friends help her search for me.

When I woke up I was in a wire-fenced truck. At the time I did not know where I was going but I would soon find out. All of a sudden the truck stopped. I noticed that the driver said, "It is Mr. Point," and the door opened. Soon after that I found myself locked up in a cell. All around me were other animals. Right across from me I saw a panther that was trying to claw its way out. Since we were both locked up I thought that I should ask him a question, so I asked him, "How should we get out of here?" He replied, "I don't know." All of a sudden we all saw a little passage in the room opened, and out came my big sister, Golden. Then, she let all of the animals out, and as soon I was going to say, "Thank You," she said, "Don't talk, we have to sneak out of here first. " Soon enough we were out and running away from the spooky place.

When I got home I asked my sister, "How did you find us?" She answered " While I was searching for you I saw a little cabin on a hill, so I explored. When I came to the house, I accidentally stepped on a rock and the door opened up. That was how I was saved you from that horrible place."



 
 


 




 
 


 
 

 



 
 


 

 


 


 
 

 





 
 

 

 














The Dream
by Carolyn

"Florence! Be on time for supper or you’ll have to stay in this sea cave for a month!" lectured my mother.

"I am going now!" I yelled back. Before I closed the door I heard her say something about me never listening to her. I pretendeded not to hear because I hate it when she does that!

When I arrived at Mr. Koosh’s house, Mr. Koosh said the poachers were back and he was afraid he would not be able to visit his sister who lives in the other islands. Whoever tries to stand up to them will be dead or will be hurt badly.

Later that day, the Galapagos fur seal newscaster said Humans are trying to kill us for our fur and merchandise. More news at six o'clock.

"Oh no," said Peter," now Grandma cannot come to visit this week! "We were going to have a delightful weekend," he said.

The next day Peter and I went out into the chilling island to visit Mister Koosh. When we got there, he was blowing his nose saying "Oh this is going to be dreadful, I think we should do something about this" "do not worry," I said thinking to myself "what should I do?"

That night I waited until everyone was asleep thinking to myself "Why am I doing this?" Before I could stop myself, I was in the ocean, then it kept on pushing me until I almost smacked into an iceberg. All of a sudden, I awoke in my bed I felt a drip of sweat down my face, so it was all a dream. I went back to bed.

The next day during breakfast while eating fish and squid I told my mother about my dream. When I was finished mom said, "Well I do not know what to say, but one thing is it looks to me like poachers are coming" while peering out of the window.
