Message in the bottle.

 

Dear whoever finds this letter,

 

If you found it, please send it to my parents: "Via Cristoforo Colombo 8, Rome, Italy."

Hey there mom and dad! Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I got to an island, but I don't know where.

Now I want to tell my story.

 

Mom and Dad maybe you still remember that day when I went on the "Moon's light" (that's a ship, if you can't remember) with some professors who invited me to see Australia and also I was with my friends. One day was very cloudy. I felt that it's not going to be a good day. In the evening time it started to storm. It was horrible , it was dreadful. Nasty weather! Our boat started to pitch. It pitched and pitched...

 

I woke up. There wasn't any boat, I was on the dry island. How horrible! What misfortune! Then I got the point! It was storming and I fell down from our boat and somebody saved me, but who? Where are my friends? And... SPLASH!!! It was a dolphin with... FISH!, was it for me? Did dolphin save me? Many questions, but no answers. When it shoved me the fish I realised I was very hungry. Dolphin was looking at me, so I thought it was for me. I took the fish, Dolphin looked happy. I took some sticks that were near me and made a fire with them. I cooked the fish and ate it. It was good. Did dolphin save me? question came again. Then I realised that I didn't even look at the island (I think it's an island) It was beautiful. Many palm trees, many trees and some birds, insects and animals.

Weather was sunny and I thought it will be good if I would go and swim a little. I took my clothes off and went to swim. Then dolphin came. We were swimming together and playing till I saw that it's going dark already. " Thank you!" - I said to the dolphin for the fish. And then I realised "Where would I live, what would I eat?" " Tomorrow, everything tomorrow..."

 

Next day I went and found a place for the cave. It was near the sea. After, I went to the wood to find some stuff to do my cave with. It was hard. Some leaves , sticks, bamboo helped me to build my cave. It wasn't big, but it was good.

In the cave I wanted to do something kind of like a bed and I needed to bring some water from the sea. I wanted many sticks for cooking. So after all I did a thing which for me was my bed. I went to the forest and found many sticks and I brought some water from the sea in my bamboo plate which I made. To do the cave and all the stuff in it took me so long. It took me 3 days. But when it was raining the ''roof'' of the cave leaked. But anyway it was better then nothing.

 

One day I found this map. It was strange. It was a treasure map. I thought I could go there, but I wasn't sure that this map was the map of this island. But anyway...

Every day dolphin brought me many fish and I cooked and ate them. Don't worry I didn't eat fish every time. Also I ate vegetable and fruits. I put them in my bamboo plate, washed them and then I put them in my metallic plate and cooked them on the fire. It is also cold and scary here at evening time. There are many stars on the sky in the evening time. The bad thing is that I don't have any clothes with me.

 

On the island there are many weird plants, weird birds and weird animals. Tortoises are so funny, I was laughing at them all day. I and dolphin became best friends.

One day I went to swim and something big touched me. It was a shark. I tried to swim, but I couldn't. "Dolphin!"- I needed him so much this minute...

I woke on the beach. Did dolphin save me again? "THANK YOU!" - I shouted. My foot hurt. There was some blood on my foot. It was raining so I went to the cave. I put some plants that were in my cave. After I took away the plants and put some water on my leg.

Now I decided to write to you. My leg still hurts a lot. I will make a fire on the island so come and save me! I really miss you!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
