I’m getting the feeling more and more that this island is bad. A little boy told all of us that there is a “beastie” hidden somewhere in the island’s jungle! He says the beastie is a snake-like creature that blends in with the creepers during the day, but comes out at night. Scary eh? It makes me wary of the jungle now.
The group’s plan to get rescued was to build a fire. The boys were induced to start a fire by Jack. They planned that their smoke signal would be visible from both the sky and sea. They were hopeful that either a boat or an airplane would see the smoke and come rescue us. The boys were very ebullient when putting together the fire. That didn’t work out so well; as the fire had no smoke, and it lead to lighting the entire jungle on fire. And what’s even worse, they pinched my specs to light the fire! Now they’re all messed up.
But, I feel so guilty it’s incredible. While the three boys were scoping out the island, I was supposed to be taking down names. The problem was, all the little ones were running around so much, I couldn’t get everyone’s’ names! They were being very errant and officious by disobeying my requests. So when I followed the others uphill, I forgot about the boy who told us about the beastie. We only remembered him once we realized he had gotten burned to death by the forest fire.
I feel I’m different from the other boys because I’m much more mature than them. I go to bed thinking about how we will get rescued off this island. I’m pretty afraid but sort of excited too, because my auntie never let me go on any sort of adventures like this.
So overall, today was no walk in the park for me. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! Bye for now, Diary.
