The amazing adventure with Neila and Shala

One day, two girls named Neila and Shala wanted to explore the forest. They asked their Mom if they could spend three nights in the forest. Their Mom said yes. Then they got their equipment and rushed in to the forest. First day, Shala had a difficult time and Neila had an easy time because she had lots of experience in the forest. First night, they had really difficult times. They had to take different shifts. Night started, they heard a noise. They went out to look, it was lion. They had to fight the lion. After the lion was gone Shala said, “I think I got hurt on my knee”. Neila looked, Shala was bleeding, good thing was Neila had her First Aid kit.

Next morning, they found that someone took all theirfood, but they still had their water. They searched for a river to catch some fish to eat. Soon, they found a river and caught a big fish. They split the fish and ate all and by then it was night. Shala had the 1st shift. Shala was very tired and told Neila “it was your turn”, but Neila did not hear her. Soon, they both fell asleep. Then quietly a tiger came. The tiger came closer and closer, and then really close and roared in their ears. They ran and ran fast as they could. They wanted to go home, but they couldn’t see the way, so they just ran. The tiger was right behind them. They ran fast and hid in the bushes. The tiger couldn’t find them. They hid in the bush all night.

In the morning Shala said,“I am glad that this is our last day in the forest”. That day wasn’t going their way, they did not catch any fish, so they drank some water. Neila said, “Let’s play I Spy”. Shala said ok, but only two rounds. Neila said, “I spy with my little eye something that is red”. Shala looked and looked then finally said, “It is your nail polish”. Neila said no. Shala said,“I give up”. In a scared voice Neila yelled, “Look behind you”. Shala said, “What?”. They saw a big hairy lion. It is a lion’s mane. They ran and ran, but the lion stood still. Shala asked,“Is that a real lion?” Neila said,“No. I was just tricking you”. Later onthey saw a real lion. But Shala was confused. She asked,“Is that a real lion or are you ticking me again?” Neila said,“Shala, it is a real lion”.But Shala didn’t believe her. She went up to the real lion to feel his mane. The lion roared and got furious. They ran and ran fast as they could. After some tine they looked back, but the lion was going in the opposite way, so they hid in their tent. That was their last night. Neila took some marshmallows and two sticks from inside the tent and Shala brought out two chocolates. They lit a small fire and had some yummy s’mores. They were so full that could barely walk. Finally, they both fell asleep.

The next morning, they packed everything up, and rushed for their house. They shared all their exciting adventuresthey had in the forest to their parents and soon they fell fast asleep.

The end.
