mystical island
Jungle island
I was on a plane to England, but one of our engines went down and everyone was panicking. I was smart to grab my bags, life raft and any material I could come across then I jumped. I knew as soon as I left the plane it was all on me to survive. When I hit the water I swam as far away from the plane as possible because I knew that as soon as that plane hit the water it would take me and everything else with it.
Day 1
I washed up on a dry and sandy beach. I had taken in a lot of water, and so I was out for at least 30 minutes before I was shocked back to life. I was hungry so hungry that I would do anything for food, thirsty I would even drink dirty water. I heard something in the bush. It was a bear most people would run for their life but I was so desperate it was the other way around. I chased after the bear with all that I could give. When I had caught up to the bear I leaped on top of it and punched it until it tumbled to the ground.
Day 2
I had finally finished dragging the bear to where I thought would be a good place to set up camp. I peeked through my bags to see what I could find. I ended up finding an axe and a shovel. When I was looking for wood I found this weird tree that looked like it drops random pieces of food but there's a catch when the food touches the ground it instantly goes rotten. I left the tree so I could come to it later. I had found a big strong tree that looked like it back could survive an earthquake my hut was so strong a bull could ram it and would still be standing i used my axe to chop off a truck load of that branches that afternoon i sat down to peel off the leafs to make myself a bit of a suspension bed
Day 3
It had already gone through half the bear. I wanted some protection if I ever got attacked so I cleared out the head wash and shoveled it on my head. I found a really strong and straight branch tied it to a sharp piece of bone. I heard Russell in the leaves. I quickly ran to my speare so i had a weapon on my side. it was a jaguar, i stood died still but it was no use the jaguar pounced on me it was so scary being under a huge cat IT WAS SCARY at any moment that thing could rip off my face, so to prevent that happening i silently teared of a bit of my bear meat and gave it to the jag and as quick as it got on me it got off just it that it was mine
Day 4
This jungle is full of excitement and I've only dented that excitement. That night I had made a saddle. the next morning so I placed it on my jaguar and set off after an hours work I was going to pack up for the day when I suddenly a sparkling sight comes from your right it was an abandoned water park but it only looks like it was closed yesterday it didn’t even have vines going through it trying to tug it down. I said to myself something wasn’t right. Either I was hallucinating, or I was going a little bit crazy. I climbed to the highest point I could find, when I got to the top I thought I saw this glowing in the distance. I looked a bit harder. THEY WERE EYES!!!!! I was being watched now things just got a whole lot scarier.
Day 5 ( the rescue)
When I saw those eyes, that's when I thought I needed to get off this island more than ever. I needed some air. I went to the beach. I sprinted as fast as I could to the beach. When I got there I was really tired. I flopped down onto cold black sand. I thought this wasn’t the sand I was on when I washed up on this island. Then when I looked up I saw these flashing lights. From my knowledge I don't think there were any flashing lights on any planes I've been on. When they were closer it was a u.f.o. And those weird looking eyes were on the bottom of it. A gun folded out of the u.f.o. But it was slightly larger than the normal guns it shot out a meteorite. They must have been a pretty good shot. I was lucky to survive. I was glowing. I was finding it hard to breathe with all my mites. I shoved it as hard as it could. This really strange thing happened. It looked like I had thrown it back into space. that meteorite must have given me powers i didn’t know what i could do. I didn't even know all the powers I had. Somehow I don't know how I had to get up to that u.f.o. The first thing that came into my head was to ground pound the sand and bounce myself up and surprisingly it worked, now the fun can begin. The first thing I did was start hitting that thing, and by the look that the aliens face he was scared. After about 8 to 10 hits we started plummeting to the ground. We hit the ground so hard that the u.f.o. Exploded into a million pieces my work was done suddenly out of nowhere I started to float. This was my ticket out of this waste land.

amazing detergent
Amazing detergent
I wonder what will happen when you put three colour dyes with milk and when you drop the detergent in I reckon all the colour will fly backwards.
(ingredients)
Detergent
Colour dye
Milk
A little bowl
First: find a small bowl/container and fill it with milk.
Second: find your three colours of dye and put a drop in.
Third get the detergent and gently put a drop in and then watch what happens
WARNING!!!
Do not blow on it to much otherwise it ruins it
When I blew on it for the first time it looked so cool but when it blew on it too much it just started to turn in one turn and it ruined it.
When I thought it was going to fly backwards I was right it did fly back in the coolest way.

Hunting
Hunting
March 26 2021 my brother Luke my dad and I went hunting somewhere in the pride lands in Africa. Each of us carried a bag. Dad carried the weapons, I carried the food and Luke carried the clothes. The one thing we forgot was our compass.
Because we couldn’t see anything on the open road we went off road a bit too see if it was any better. We found a couple of antelope. Dad decided to pull out the shotgun. I said dad, wait we don't draw any attention to us. I told him to rather use the bow and arrow but ignored me and fired anyway. Great, I said now we are the main target and the rest of the animals probably think we are poachers. After that Dad realised how wrong he was because now there is a stampede of buffalo headed straight towards us, run!!!!! We ran for our lives but it was no use. The stampede was just too fast. We decided to dodge it, so we all jumped sideways and just managed to miss it and if we stayed in it any longer and we would have been trampled flat.
We decided to really think about what we did because that stampede was just way too close. Just then Luke remembered we had just left that antelope there. Dad said where is that antelope and I said where are we? Luke said we are in the pride-land of Africa daaaaa!!!! I said not helping!!!! (with anger). Come let's go find it. I don't’ think it will be that since those buffalo kindly left us trail back we kept our eyes peeled. I saw a horn sticking out of the tall dry grass.
What is that, I said. That's it said Dad. where are going to sleep the sun in coming and we the don’t have any sort shelter. Luke said there is a gorge over there let's go see if there is a cave/shelter around there. Well what are we waiting for. Let's go run and see. Luckily, we got to the gorge before dark and headed down into the gorge. Since it has been raining the past couple of days the gorge was all sloppy. We slept for the night and struggled for next 6 days and we were running low on food and nearly ran into a pride of lions after all this time we found the ute and headed home.
