Giggly Puff

 

Dear Reader,

Hi my name is Mimi and I am 10 years old. A month ago me and Tiffany were on an island, now I will tell you how the story happened. It first started when me and my family were on a trip to go around the world. We were sailing on a boat called The Big Wave, it was turning night and, I went to bed and my dad pushed the black button which made the automatic driver. We all went to bed but I didn't. I was so curious of the ocean at night that I stupidly went out of my room and out of the boat where there were no bars.

 

While I was watching the black ocean a huge wave came and crushed onto our boat! In that moment I fell in the water, as I managed to swim up the water I saw my ship going further and further away. I wanted to cry but in the distance I saw another girl sitting on a rock in the water. I swam towards the rock and asked her her name. She was called Tiffany. While I was asking her questions on how she landed here, I saw on an island far far away in the fog. We swam together to the island. As we walked along the shore we noticed that there was no one but us two!!!!

 

We both thought that staying here for a month would be enough time for a ship to come and rescue us. In the first four days we built shelter that we thought that was safe enough for us two to fit and gathered food to eat.

 

As these days passed we both thought that this island was no one's property so the island was going to be called GIGGLY PUFF. On Giggly Puff it was always calm but one day we heard some noise coming from the back of the island. Me and Tiffany went slowly with long sticks (so we could fight) to the other side of Giggly Puff. When I came to the other side I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!!! I saw at least a dozen of little kids, playing in the water and splashing each other but the most beautiful thing was that there was a huge house made out of big leaves and sticks. While I was watching them I saw a boy that I thought was the oldest and I called him. He was nine years old and he was called Adrian. I asked him to get everyone's attention because I had an idea. After several shouts he managed to get everyone's attention. "Hi, I am Mimi and this is my friend Tiffany, three days ago we both landed on this island so I thought the it would be nice if we could be all together in one single house". We all did some work and after 2 days we managed to finish the house and I must say that the house was beautiful. We were on this island for 3 weeks already so it was time to go back to our original house in the city. So one day I was looking for food and I found a plastic bottle. I thought for a moment and came up with the idea of a message in a bottle. I ran towards the house and said to call Tiffany so she could write the letter to then send it to the ocean so maybe someone would come and save us. So Tiffany wrote: PLEASE COME AND HELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE MORE THAN A DOZEN OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. WHO EVER FINDS THIS MESSAGE PLEASE COME AND SAVE US!

Sincerely,

all of us

 

As we finished to write the story we immediately send it to the ocean and in a couple of days our parents came and saved us.
