In The Jungle


SWISH!SWISH! As the wind was blowing my hair the jungle went SILENT! The trees swayed side to side as my shoes smushed in to the gooey, slimy mud!! “Err “ i said shaking like an earthquake!! It was the third night of Totara Springs camp!!

“H-H-hey!” I stammered, patting Thearesa’s shoulder! “ I think I saw something” I said . “W-W-What was it” she replied , shaking me like a vibrating phone! We both briskley looked in front of us until......... “Aaaaa!!” an ugly, wild gorilla scared us!! My heart felt like it was about to STOP!! “This was a bad idea” I murmmed.

As my eyes started to clog up with tears, I coould hear the dew drops falling to the ground. “Come on girls!” Cara ( Our leader ) said. “ We can’t stop NOW!” Unexpectedly the rope started to quiver!! But that wasn’t all. The foot steps off someones shoes started to get closer and closer. “OMG! Whos that?” Thearesa exclaimed.

“ Arrrrgggghhhh!” we screamed , getting water blasted in my face. By then my eyes started to get bigger and bigger as we got closer to the end!DROP!DROP! I started to freeze up like an slippery ice-cube! “ Im freezing!!” I said as we walked up the unseen stairs!

“Oga Boga!” I heard, as the lights were expanding! The tribe were teaching the kids songs that they had sung many years ago. I had thought!” WERE HERE!!!” I heard Cara scream ! Thearesa had finally let me go QUICKLEY getting a nicProxy-Connection: keep-alive

HOT chocolate and a chocolate biscut!

At the end of it all I thought that going through the jungle was an experience. Even though some poeple weren’t wanting to do it, they still took part! I was So reliefed that I had got through it!!

  3. Hey Ala
    I liked your introduction on how you hooked me.
    I also think that a nice Chocolate biscuit and hot Chocolate was a great ending for that terrifying adventure.
    I won't Lie but I didn't understand what this meant Chace-control: max-age=0 and I hope that you could explain it properly next time.
    I really enjoyed it and I hope to come back and read more interesting posts from you
    Bye
