The Brave Girl & The Ocean

By: Jade

Once there was a girl,Taylor, this girl had lost her family; in a shipwreck. Taylor’s family died because the ship they were on sunk and the girl was the only survivor; she was on a lifeboat all by herself (at least she thought). The girl was alone, scared, and hungry she wanted to at least hug someone and tell them how she felt but there was no one there.. Later on the second day she lifted a tarp on the lifeboat to find...snacks and water she was so hungry and thirsty but she only ate one snack and drank one can of water. OftenTaylor still felt lonely and borad.

After a while, on the next day Taylor went under the tarp again the for some more food and water when she heard a soft “mew” and when she turned around and saw a kitten; and a cute kitten it was! After looking at the kitten she noticed the kitten was an orange and black tabby with green eyes. Then Taylor picked up the kitten and said “How cute! where did you come from?” but the kitten just replied in a soft “mew”, then Taylor just said “I’ll name you...Tiger.” Just then a mouse ran past them and the kitten started chasing it; and Taylor thought it was funny. Before very long Taylor then remembered she was going to get a snack and a drink of water. After Taylor finished her snack she saw the kitten a few minutes later she was shocked to see it had pounced on the little mouse but quickly got over it.

One month later... Taylor and Tiger washed up on a beach in Mexico. They were so tired they took a nap in the boat. Eventually people came to the beach and saw the lifeboat. They took Taylor to the hospital but Tiger lay on Taylor and would not leave her. Before long taylor was better and they lived together at their new home. Often people came to visit Taylor to ask about her adventure, but she was still sad about what happened so she made up a story. 70 years later... Sense Taylor took care of the kitten, Tiger, when she past away she went in the stars to be remembered of her kindness and sympathy.
