Explorers

                                            

The day was going nothing like they expected. The two men were very worried about the women and baby they needed to go to the next village because they had one of the best doctors but the village was very far away. You had to go past a river so they had to be very careful. By the time they got into the river they didn’t know that they would get carried by the river. The water  splash and swish and almost hit them against the rocks. The two men were trying to get back to shore as fast as they could but the river was too strong even though the men were struggling and paddling as hard as they could.

After a while  the river got less rough and they were tired they had finally made it to the village safely.

Empty Boats

 

If it wasn’t for the peeling paint and the faded fishing nets, you couldn’t tell these boats had years of history hidden in their beams. I looked carefully at the biggest of the boats and my mind began to wander. Who owned it? Where had it sailed too? What sort of memories were hidden amongst the ropes and nets? As I was wandering around,  I found a small notebook in one of the bouts. I looked around if anyone had lost their notebook but no one was there so I opened the notebook and there was a map and a letter with a photo on the bottom of the letter . when I was reading the letter I had a strange feeling like I was being whisked away by a gust of wind but suddenly the feeling stopped and I saw that the boat had gotten bigger and looked good as new but when I looked again there were just the old bouts. I was amazed  at what I witnessed .

The letter explained the story about the bouts. I couldn't believe that there was so much history in the old bouts.

Sina and the Eel - My version

 

The shark was humongous and Danny was  ten times smaller than him. The shark was right above him he swam under the shark so the shark didn't  see him.as they were gilding through the water Danny looked up at the shark  and he observed a strange marking on the shark's body. It was like nothing he ever saw. It was amazing  but he was a bit anxious about the shark and knew he would escape from the shark if anything happens. He was starting to think that going diving was a bad idea.
