I, Fairywinkle, looked out into the sea of Catalina, my island. I saw a ship heading straight to Catalina, my giant, green island with lots of food and water. What did they want? I found out a few hours later, when the ship arrived. On it was a man and his crew. They said that they were there to take us. My group and I started to board the ship, but I couldn’t find my brother. I thought maybe he was back at the village. I went there, hoping to see him. When I couldn’t find him, I went back to the ship. The ship had left, with my brother! He had been on the ship all along. So now I was stuck by myself on Catalina. I already knew how to survive. I found some weapons in the houses and hunted cows, because they were found on my island. Next, I went to the spring to get water,and then I went to our fruit trees to get an apple. At dinnertime, I cooked the steak with a fire, and ate an apple afterward. I drank my water and went to bed, wondering what would happen the next day.

I awoke to the bird’s singing. It was a great day, with the sun shining and the clear, blue sky. I looked outside at the stack of food my family had made the day before. There was no food left, because some animals had came and taken all of my food. I thought and thought, thinking of a solution. A few hours later, I thought of a solution: making a fence. I would cut down some trees for wood, and then stick them together with a long, sticky piece of tree bark. So I set out to the forest on the other side of the island with only my axe. I arrived a few hours later. As I walked into the forest, I saw a good tree that had already fallen. I saw a tree sled on the side of the tree. So someone had already wanted that tree to make a fence. I knew this because there was a piece of bark too. I put the tree on the sled with the bark and went home, built my fence, hunted another cow with the weapons, ate it and went to bed once again.

I woke up early the next day to a ship’s honking. When I looked outside, I saw a giant, white ship coming to my island at the break of dawn. On the ship was my family! I was saved! Jumping up from bed, I raced to get my suitcase and stuffed it with all of my belongings. When I was done, I ran to the beach, just as the ship let out a sky-blue bridge, for me to use to get onto the ship. As I boarded the ship, my family ran over and told me that I had my own room! They led me to my room, and on its door I saw the name FAIRYWINKLE carved on it with golden letters. I threw open the door and saw my own bathroom, and that I had a queen-size bed to sleep in. My family left, leaving me to unpack. When I was finished, I went to the boat’s deck and joined my family, which was happy to have me back. I was finally home!
