It had been two weeks since I got left alone. It was a nice, spring day. All the flowers were just starting to bloom. Just then, a very loud noise rang into the cold, spring air. It sounded like a bell ringing. The boat that we took for the island tour had a loud bell that sounded like that. I got extremely excited. I thought, “Maybe someone came back to find me! I better run over to see what is making that noise.” I ran as fast as I can. I was out of breath when I got to the bay. I was so excited to see what that noise was coming from! To my surprise, the same boat that we took to get to the island was at the bay! I hurried to the boat, and found that my parents were on the boat, calling my name, with my brother there. I ran to my parents and told them how much I missed them. I was glad to be going back home.

I remember the day when there was a bear. It was only a few days after I got left behind and was when I was gathering berries and water in baskets. Then, I heard a fierce growl. A big bear was growling at something! I was very scared. The bear slowly walked towards my house! It looked happy and I could tell it didn’t notice me yet. I thought that the bear’s den must have been my shelter. I ran away, hoping not to be noticed, to the nearest place I could make a new home. I found lots of bark on my island, and I used that to build a new home. I put them together by using big tree leaves, ripping them up and sewing the bark together. It took ten days to make. After, I ran back to where I used to live. I gathered all the belongings that I had before the bear came. I brought them to my new place. =====

Once, I took a vacation to an island that not many people had been to. I took a family vacation there. My brother, mom and dad were also with me. Trees were in the distance and rocks along the shoreline. It was just-discovered, so it didn’t have a name yet. We were looking around when I saw a pretty flower. I kept looking at it for the longest time! I heard my brother calling my name but I didn’t seem to hear him. I was still looking at the same flower for ten minutes! I realized that I was left behind and I panicked. I remembered the boat we took would have left with my family on it. I ran until I saw a boat leaving in the distance. They were gone! I knew that I would have to live on my own until they came back. I found a beautiful pond to live near and to drink from and berry bushes, for eating. There was a cave near also. I threw sticks on the roof many times and it took two hours to make a hole for light. I just hoped that my family would be coming soon.
