Deep in the lush green overgrown jungle the spectacular saffron sun rushes over it. My name was Jake, and I was sitting calm and relaxed. Then I thought to myself, I wish I can eat some scrumptious tan bananas. I was a lonely brave curious monkey with soft white fur it was breath-taking and astonishing. Suddenly the scent scrumptious bananas fills my nostrils I was scavenging and running for them. I was exited then a couple minutes later I find the end of the trail.

Then I was shot with a tranquilizer suddenly I wake up a rusty metal cage and I feel pain I have fright in my body I am forced to juggle and swing on a sturdy trapezium they are wiping me and it was hurting so much. I hated it I couldn’t imagine it. Then they gave me a scooter they wiped me to get on and wiped me to start going. It was weird but they wiped me again to keep me going I didn’t process why they were doing it but I carried on. If I didn’t follow that trail I would still be home in my beautiful shelter. It’s different a few hours pass we are about to preform then I don’t perform with my friends and I that I made wile practise. Then we saw an opening and we all were running for it then I tripped the trainer was running for me but I was too quick everyone was yelling this is ghastly and terrible.

I saw an opening with all the equipment there was whips and arrows and then I found the opening then ran out. I found a map and it said the way to the jungle we go 50 meters strait and go 18 meters left we ran strait the went left and we were there I didn’t know where I was it was weird there were eyes looking down on me I kept on going and going then 100 meters in front of me I saw something that looked like mine I ran over there as quick as possible. Then I found it my house I couldn’t believe it I found my house I went to my bed because it was night then I went to bed.
