__Day 1 __  Dear Diary, As I was washed up by the wild waves, fear was creeping through my body. I didn’t no where I was or what had happened. I was lying on my trunk which luckily had a small supply of oats and fruit but it wouldn’t last me long! I panicked for at least 15 minutes.   I tossed in confusion then staring me in the face was a turtle, I sprung to my feet in shock and looked all around me. I was stood on some kind of beach this I named turtle beach. I placed my trunk so I knew where it was if I needed to store anything.  I started to walk north unsteadily wondering what was ahead. Not looking where I was going I bumped straight into a palm tree. Coconuts came tumbling down and dropped to the floor cracking open suddenly. I collected all of them up and placed them in my backpack.  I hope someone will come and save me; there is nothing around me but dry beach, trees and turtles. How could I live on this plain land?    __Day 2 __  As I woke from my hard stormy night, I decided to look for a better place to sleep instead of just sleeping under the tree. I decided to set off from the palm trees only a few minutes away was a waterfall which I could collect to drink in my bottle I had. Also next to it was 2 poles stuck in the dry sand deeply. I collected the rope from my wet backpack and tied it to the poles making a washing line to dry my bag and my clothes on. I wandered around looking for any items I could use in future. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Behind a tree was a wooden hut quite big where I could sleep for the night. I stepped inside the abandoned hut it didn’t look really comfy though! So I went and looked by the waterfall and palm trees for any good materials to use. Luckily enough there was a piece of silk hanging on a branch, I could use as a blanket. When I pulled it off underneath was a dirty wet book. I opened it up and inside it said Mia Highs it was a diary of a girl in 1996. I took it back to my hut and collected some leaves on the way. When I got back I put the smooth leaves in a heap as my pillow and laid the silk tidy on the bench in there. I sat on the made bed and read the first page. It didn’t really say much all it said was I got washed up today on this strange beach I’m alone without any family. The rest of the diary hadn’t been filled in. I thought about why the rest was not filled in thinking she had died. It was getting dark so I thought about getting a bit of sleep. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> __<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Day 3 __ <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">I had quite a good sleep last night but I did wake up with a lizard on my foot. It seemed to like me as it wouldn’t go out the door so I let it stay in while I went and got my trunk from the beach. After I collected my trunk I dropped it in my hut and went to find more land for me to explore. A few meters away were some sort of dessert which had cactuses on. Buried underneath the warm sand was some burnt wet wood which seemed to be put out only a few minutes ago. This probably meant that there is some sort of life on the island. Also near by was some fruit trees for example; banana trees, apple trees and also there was a vegetable patch which grew potatoes, carrots and cabbages. I picked a few of each and took them back to my hut. The lizard was still in there, staring at me as I walked in. I gave it the smallest carrot I had and then I had a salad with the lettuces and carrots in a bowl which was a coconut shell. After I had my lunch which was the best meal I’ve had for ages I decided to sit up and play with the lizard just like a pet. I named it Bongo. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Tomorrow I will try and find it a little box for him to sleep in and maybe some objects as well. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> __<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Day 4 __ <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">I woke up with a full stomach today so I skipped breakfast and went to the turtle beach to sunbathe. On the side of the rocks was some orange net like the stuff you would get on the packets of oranges down the supermarket. This actually came in handy when I found some old rusty nails on the shore. So I got a left over stick from when I found my hut and made a fishing rod. So then I could go and catch some fish for meals. I went to the river and went and speared some fish. Nearby was a small box which I got for bongo as I promised him a bed to sleep in so he wouldn’t knick mine. I also discovered the mountains today which had some flowers near by which I used to decorate my hut with I also collected a few for bongo but he would probably eat them! I went back to my hut to drop of the things I found. I then started a fire by rubbing two sticks together so I could cook my fish for tea. It was nice to have a good meal and I thought I wouldn’t have another tomorrow just encase I got sick of them. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> __<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Day 5 __ <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Today I need to go and get some more food from the vegetable patch and fruit trees. After I had got them I decided to go back to the shady mountains as it is very hot and I need to cool down before I went and searched for other useful objects. Over west was a little green tent which had been made by leaves I went over to see what was there. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Sat by a fire was a young lady behind the tent. I tiptoed up to her quietly trying not to frighten her. She screamed. I asked her what her name was she answered Mia Highs. I swear I recognise that name from somewhere. It was the name in the diary I found with my materials. I told her I found her diary and I said I kept it safe in my trunk. She asked me how long I had been here and I said a few days (meaning 5.)Mia replied that she had been washed up by ship wrecked a few years ago when on a cruise with her family! They have never found me since. I’ve adopted a pet monkey from the forest you should adopt a little friend to keep you company. I told her I did adopt a pet lizard and I live in a hut across from the forest and she should visit sometime with her pet monkey. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Later on Mia came round to my hut for a tea. I fed the pet’s fruit I had collected and Me and Mia had some fish I had speared from the river, even though yesterday I said I wouldn’t have another tonight but it was a special occasion. We stayed up until midnight and before she went I gave her the diary and planned a date to meet on turtle beach. That night I slept well knowing that there was more life than just me on the island. <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> __<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Day 6 __ <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif""> <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"">
