My First Narrative

Volcano Island

“How much longer do we have to be on this ship?” asked Dana. “Until we find an island to stay on,” pronounced Kirsten. Just then the ship hit something. Bang! I looked down and saw a beautiful island. ”Now we can get out of the ship,” confirmed Kirsten. But just as the girls pushed down the ladder the ship fell apart.
What a lovely island, lots of leaves covered the ground and the trees had pink flowers on them. “How are we going to leave?” asked Dana. Kirsten ignored her as she loved the island and didn’t care if they stayed here. ”Let’s go build a shelter because it’s getting dark,” pronounced Kirsten. “But we do not know what kind of dangers are out there, ”said Dana in a scared voice. “Well if we hurry up maybe we will make it before it gets dark,” Kirsten exclaimed as she headed off. The girls made two beds and a shelter. When they woke up Kirsten felt something on her leg so she picked it up. “Ahhhhh” It was a baby butter snake. Dana came rushing into the wooden tent. ”What's wrong!” yelled Dana “A butter snake was on my leg!” screamed Kirsten. “Wait, what's that sound” asked Dana. “Sounds like a volcano is erupting” pronounced Kirsten. The girls rushed outside, a volcano, that they did not see before, was erupting. “The lava is making it’s way down” screamed Dana. “I’ll cook some food and you go gather wood” said Kirsten. “Ok but how does this help us get away from the lava?” replied Dana. “You will see,” said Kirsten.
As both girls worked away the lava got closer and closer to them. Suddenly Kirsten said “Ok we need to build a raft.” “Ohhhh now I get it,” pronounced Dana. The girls worked as the lava was getting closer. The lava was only three feet away from them. “We need to jump in with the food and sail away, fast,” screamed Kirsten. The two girls got home safely and were ready for another adventure.

Lindsay
a rally
car co-driver

Lindsay was a rally driver before she became a co-driver. Rally car drivers can not take their car home so they kept their car at the mechanics, where they get checked.
Her highest speed is 216 km p/hr in her races. She has to wait a month between each race. She has only won 1st place once. Lindsay was 20 when she started racing.
Here is a picture of Lindsay holding up an SOS sign, which they use if they need help.
