The Boat on the Sea

The sea is blue and a boat floats there. There were four people on it. One was named Anna and have I mentioned that there were two girls and two boys? Another girl was named Kayleigh. One boy, his name was Jake, and the other boy was Jack.

Jack and Jake were twins. When they got on the boat to go to sea they noticed they needed things on there before they got on. So they started to pack. When they packed they were all ready. They noticed they could have a window room for one of the girls and another window room for one of the other girls. The boys didn't really need a window. They didn't care if they had a window or not.

The boat took off! It was going toward a lone island where no one had discovered it. On the second day the boat started to shake and turn! One of the boys looked over the side and saw they were getting close to a whirlpool! The other boy turned the ship to go the other way around the whirlpool! They were safe! So they started to get back to work.

On the third day they could see a little bit of land far away. So when they got there on the fourth day they decided to take a rest. They had their food because they had to find it on that island. When they woke up they noticed that they could not see their boat! Their boat had been floating away again! But their sail wasn't put up. They looked all over the island, but they had found out that since they had went around the edge and didn't go into the middle, it might be there. They found a way to get into the middle and they found boat tracks. Someone had pushed the boat onto land and into the middle of the island.

When they got to the middle of the island they saw a little person on the boat. They said, "We were the only people on the boat. How did that person get on there?" They saw that the man wasn't just on the boat, but was on there to be there and never get off so that he could make sure that they didn't do anything. So when he started to talk to them about who he was and why he was there, the boys and girls started to wonder if he was good or bad. He didn't want them to get back on. He tried to scare them so they wouldn't go back to sea and get to the island that no one had discovered. They started to wonder if he was stopping everyone from getting to that island.

They tried to get onto their ship to get to a different island. But that man wouldn't let them go. He would run over before they could push the boat back and say, "Stop! You can't go anywhere!" He really did scare them because at the time they were just kids. They wondered what would happen next. Would he keep them on the island or let them go?

He said that if they could find a blueberry, a raspberry, and a strawberry, then he would let them go. But if they didn't, they would have to stay forever! They found a blueberry when someone climbed into a tree. They found a raspberry and a strawberry on a bush. Then they were free!! They decided to try to find the lone island on a different day. So they headed home.

The End

The Flowers in the Day

The sky is blue
roses are red
daffodils can be any color
but I am the one to see them all

I see one of each kind
one of a kind
one of a kind can be so good
I like them all
