I was walking on the beach; on this island we had seen some smoke. I wonder who's here. As I looked up and saw the trees burning, I visualized adults maybe trying to kill a mountain lion or something. I had also heard some ululation... Of course I was wrong and as I came back from my imagination I saw a young boy heave himself out of the forest and onto the sand. He saw me and we talked. Soon after, when other boys came out, he told me that he was leader. When I asked how many boys there were on the island he said he didn't know. I was surprised and asked if there had been and deaths. I was expecting an answer of "None sir," But I was wrong again, the boy who I now knew as Ralph said "two,"I was very appalled. Ralph started to cower and I knew it was no use trying to get information now. Though I wish he would have elaborated more on his experience on the island. I could learn more later, on the way home. Those silly kids.

On the ship all the boys seemed to be crying, but they were all happy to be going home. I couldn't imagine this happening to me when I was their age.....
