Wrote this descriptive in 6th grade. Enjoy!
At a snail’s pace, I
opened my eyes. I had been in a terrible storm yesterday night. I was thrown
overboard by the raging waves. They had leapt up as high as a 20-storey
building. The last thing I heard was a frightful and hopeless voice calling to
me “Captain, Swim! Swim!” before the angry waves almost drowned me. I had lost
everything: my clothes, food and above all, my crew members.
Now, after an
exhausted and death-like slumber, I awoke and looked around. I was stranded at
what looked like a small but perfect island. It looked natural. There were a
couple of coconut trees which bore ripe coconuts. Still tired, I lied down on
the warm and golden sand. I limped over to the sea slowly and sat just where
the waves died down on the shore.
The crystal clear
water projected the colourful, exotic and harmless marine creature that swam
along the coast. Far out in the distance, beautiful white horses swam
gracefully through the waves. Ahhh…the ocean looked so inviting. The gentle
breeze was as soothing as any other mother and touched me delicately. I felt
cool and relaxed after what seemed like ages. A colourful arc adorned the blue
sky.
After some time, I
felt too hungry to enjoy the nature. I climb up a coconut tree that had some
fine and nectarous coconuts. With great difficulty (and slipping down lots of
times), I managed to climb up and pluck them, breaking them against a rock.
I decided to explore
the thick forest that stood in the middle of the heavenly island. As I entered
it, I saw some scrumptious fruits hanging from every branch. Apples as red as
ruby, tangy oranges, bright yellow mangoes - they seem to just slide down my
throat.
I ventured further to
find a sparkling waterfall and I quickly quenched my thirst with it. The
waterfall continued to flow and gradually became a river that was as long as a
snake. Suddenly, I heard a flapping sound that was so scary it made me jump out
of my skin. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and flopped on the shore. I
turned around to see what has chased me and I burst out laughing. It was a
screeching parrot!
The island was so
heavenly and fun that I promised I would never leave it.
