One weekend, my parents decided to bring my brother and I to the recreational
jungle. We were very excited as we had not been there before. My brother and I
talked about all the bears, tigers and reindeer we were going to see. We really
thought that a recreational jungle was like any other jungle. When we arrived,
we dashed into the jungle, wanting to explore its length and breadth. We
obediently followed our parents at first but found it boring. Just then, a
rabbit rushed out. I screamed in delight and ran after it. My brother followed
quickly behind. We kept running, always keeping our eyes on the rabbit. The
rabbit got tired of running and decided to hide in its
burrow.
It was only then that we realized that we did not know where we were. The
trees looked unfamiliar and there were no more jungle paths for us to follow. We
were scared as we realized that we were lost. Night was approaching and the
hooting of the owl sent shivers down our spines.
I began to cry as I was feeling tired, hungry and sleepy. My brother comforted
me by letting me sleep on his lap. I soon fell asleep dreaming of bears waiting
to eat me up.
Suddenly, I woke up. My brother was shaking me and telling them to get up. We
could hear voices coming our way ! We shouted with all our might that we were
lost. We soon saw beams of light from countless torches. Then we heard our
parents' voices. We were safe! My brother and I ran to our parents and embraced
them emotionally. We were so happy to see them again that we
vowed we never wanted to be separated from
them ever again. |
