Dear reader,

 

HELP ME!!!

Once ago, I was stuck on an island. I had no food and no water, because all the baboons were eating and drinking all the resourses of this island! I wanted to go home. I was there because I fell off a plane and landed there! As simple as that! This is my simple story:

One day a monkey came right in front of me and gave me a banana! (by the way, my name is Irene ) I was very sad and depressed because my friends were landing at Boston and that I had to sleep in a little, damp cave... and all of a sudden there he is. A monkey( I guess a baboon) giving me food!

I was impressed so I gave him a painting, on a rock, I had found. He liked it because it was a beautiful rock and there was a monkey painted on it.

He kept on coming from that day on. He seemed to like me so I made him a little bed made out of the softest leaves and twigs I could find inside my cave. The only problem is he thought I was his mother! After a long time when we were still on the island he was happy. He jumped from tree to tree when he saw me! One day I was trying to make gestures to the monkey's father to explain why his son was with me, when he knocked me to the ground with one punch in the eye! I was scared. And lonely. The animals howled when I passed and... I WANTED TO GO HOME!!!

A long time ago they did come. My parents looked for me and they found me. They brought me to the plane but as stupid as I am I said I did not want to come! The miracle is that "my" monkey came with us on the plane!!! He was sad in the city so we went to bring him back to the island. In the end my parents got fed up with me so they said they would leave me on the island. I thought they were joking but THEY REALLY LEFT ME HERE AND... I-W-A-N-T-T-O-G-O-H-O-M-E-!-!-!

 

HELP,

Irene
