”HELP, HELP, Jim, HELP!” there is an animal chasing me screamed Phil!
“Okay I’m coming Phil.” replied Jim.
“Bring the baseball bat and hurry Jim!” yelled Phil.
“Okay I’m coming, I’m behind you Phil! AHHHH is that a hyena”? Screamed Jim
“Yes now hit it quick.” said Phil in fear. In an instant Jim hit it.

Smash! Jim hit the hyena and then cried “I can’t believe we got lost on our awesome holiday in Africa on a safari tour.” He gathered himself together and said “We should make shelter before nightfall.”
“Ok ill grab the vines and leaves. You can grab the rocks and stones.” said Phil.
“Ok let’s do this.” Jim yelled excitedly

“Finally we’ve finished the shelter now we can go catch some fish at a riverbank.” exclaimed Jim
“Hey look, found one Jim!” shouted Phil
“Awesome, get it! Wow look at the fish it looks like as if it was made out of gold

“AHHHHHH baby crocodile.” squealed Phil
“Run Phil, run.” yelled Jim.

“OUCH! It bit me Jim, help!” screamed Phil
“Grab my hand Phil.” Jim said desperately
“It let go quick run Jim.” screamed Phil.
“Quick lay down ill go grab some bandages Phil.” said Jim
“Thanks Jim.” said Phil

“Hopefully they send a search party tomorrow.” said Jim
“Can you put the fish on?” said Phil
“AWWW I dropped the fish when we were running from the baby crocodile.” said Jim angrily
“Oh that’s annoying I guess we will just have to wait until tomorrow.” said Phil
“Goodnight Phil.” said Jim
“AWW what’ s that noise Jim it sounds like a helicopter.” said Phil.
