Dear Reader,

I am stranded on an island in the middle of an ocean. "Please" come and rescue me! I got here when I was guarding my family boat all by myself, (when they were sleeping), when at a certain point we hit a lot of waves and an iceberg. When we hit it I hit my head and fell into the water. When I woke up I was on a tropical island. Anyway, please come and rescue me, because I am just an 11 year old girl that is trying to survive an an island all by herself. If you ever decide that you would want to rescue me ("please do") READ THE FOLLOWING:

It was the tenth day of this half beautiful journey with my family. We were going to Antarctica to create a journey that my brother always wanted to realise. Another journey that he always dreamed of was to go around the world with our boat the "the Octopuses' Garden!" (If this trip to Antarctica turned out good).

The day we left was a hot day of the summer holidays. School had finished from a week. I wasn't excited at all about this trip. But at least they allowed me to bring my 3 cats and my 2 dogs with me, just so that I would be happy and go with them as a family.

A couple of days passed, when it was about six o'clock in the evening, "all my animals and my family were sleeping except me, because I was guarding the boat". Then at a certain point the boat crashed into a lot of waves. A couple minutes later when I had thought that everything was over, (everyone was still sleeping) we hit a big iceberg. I hit my head and fell into the water when we hit it. When I woke up I was right next to a tropical island, with a big cut on my head that probably had made me unconscious. I had no Idea of where I was or where my family and my boat were! "I was in the middle of nowhere"!!!!!

One or two weeks passed by. One day, I was sitting on the beach crying because I wanted to go home, when something reached my feet. It was a message in a bottle, it described everything about the island I was on. I then decided to throw it back into the sea, but change the date of it. (it was probably from another person that lived on this island before me).

So please come and rescue me because I am just a little girl that is trying to survive on her own. I don't know what to do here or what to do with with my life on this deserted island.

A year later my family came to rescue me because they had found the message in a bottle I had sent the year before. When we were coming back home they told me everything that happened in the past year. When I came back to my family we were so happy together that we had even a better happier ever after then in the fairy tales.
