Jake's Adventures

    Hi my name is Jake and this is my story.  It all started out with me and my friend Sam.   Me and Sam were getting ready to go on an adventure. We were going into the forest.  We had told our parents and they exclaimed okay.  It was great because we had never gotten to go on an adventure before.  We took two bananas, a few apples and some water.  And we also packed binoculars for bird spotting.

     When we started off, it was getting a bit dark because the trees were in the way of the sun.  When our eyes adjusted, we started to notice beautiful birds, squirrels and rare, red-tailed foxes.  We even glimpsed a chipmunk or two.  We found a creek and we started to watch birds from the creek.  A few minutes later we decided to go on and we saw a few robins, bluebirds and a majestic eagle.  A few moments later, we realized that we had wandered away from the trail and we were lost. 

     We started to worry if we would make it home.  We decided to sit still and wait for someone to find us but we never heard anyone coming.  We decided to have an apple and some water while we waited.  It was getting dark and we were feeling really scared.  All of a sudden, we heard a helicopter.  We stood up and started waving our arms frantically.  It felt like a century until the helicopter saved us but it was only a day. We were so happy we hugged our parents on the spot.
