TRAPPED ON A DESERTED ISLAND
Kelly opened her sleep-filled eyes and turned her head to see where she was. All she could see was the blue of the
ocean meeting the blue of the sky. Hills and trees lined the horizon, but none of them looked familiar. Where was
she? A short sudden bark made Kelly leap out of her thoughts. It was a puppy- her puppy!
“Woof!” Rex barked. Kelly could tell that he was anxious to explore. But explore what? This was unfamiliar ground.
She made an effort to focus on her surroundings and soon realized she was on an island. Rex led the way and as
soon as he reached a grouping of trees he sat down in front of them, looking proud. He had shown Kelly some
delicious food. Without a second thought, Kelly snatched off an apple and bit it happily. Some twenty minutes later
they set off once again. Kelly looked out at the calm sea and in the distance she could just make out a piece of
land.“Was that home?” she wondered. If it was, how could she get there? She was determined to find a way of
escape and building a raft seemed to provide one. Soon Kelly could see her pile of wood taking the shape of a raft. It
was only a small one, so if the sea became rough it would most definitely fall apart. But for now it was floating
properly. Kelly and Rex were ready. They perched on the raft and Kelly steered them across the ocean with a long
piece of wood, which made a perfect oar. Without warning, the sky darkened, the sea went wild and the waves
crashed onto the raft. Kelly tried to work out she should do. She was too far from the island they had left behind
and not close enough to the island she called home. She pressed forward, fighting the waves, battling the wind, until
an enormous wave hit! Kelly’s eyes opened. Rex was licking her face. She pushed Rex gently aside and looked
around. She knew she was home. Then a voice spoke: “Where have you been?” he asked gently. “Everyone’s been
looking for you.” Kelly recognized the voice Peter, her brother. She lifted her eyes and there he was curiously
watching her every move. She looked out at the sea. Where was the small island she’d been on? Had all been a
dream? Kelly glanced down at her hand. There was living proof. She was still clutching tightly onto that long stick.
Turning to Peter she whispered. “I got lost, Peter, lost on a deserted island.”
