An Adventure Deep Into the Amazon

By David

Have you ever sat on your chair, enjoying the time you spend writing homework? Probably not, right? Do you think a trip deep into Amazon would make your boring life become exciting? I think you wouldn’t say no if you could have an adventure and take a break. In the Amazon, maybe you will face lot of danger, but you will make friend too! If you’re lucky, you may find lots of secrets that are hidden deep in the rainforest. After you tell the whole world, you’ll become famous and get lots of money! So why don’t you put down your homework and have an adventure in the Amazon rainforest?

If you got deep into the Amazon, you need to face lots of danger. When you row you boat in the middle of the Amazon River, you need to be careful, because there you can meet is the world’s largest fresh water fish, the elephant fish. It can grow up to five meters long, and it could flip your boat as easy as eating a fish! There is another kind of fish that can finish a cow in just two minutes! It’s called a piranha. In the Amazon River, there are hundreds of piranhas, so if you fall into the water, you probably won’t survive. Of course , if there is water, there will be lots of mosquitoes. When all of them fly together, it may sound like thunder. In the forest, maybe you will fall into the Indian’s traps or get hurt by some poisonous plants or fungus. If you walk near the swamp, you need to beware of alligators, with strong tails and sharp that can easily kill you. These are some of the danger you need to face in the Amazon rainforest.

Even though you need to face so many dangers in the Amazon, you still can make some friends. Maybe you can find a bunch of baby crocodiles that have lost their mother. You could take one of them as a cute pet. Or maybe you could catch a monkey as a pet, so you wouldn’t need to worry about running out of food. It could pick some fruit from the top of the tree that you can’t reach. Of course, you will meet some friendly Indians, and they may give you fresh water or a small canoe so you can get deeper into the jungle. Maybe when you woke up, you will find someone gave you some food! If you get these help, you can get a lot deeper into the rainforest.

If you get very deep into the Amazon, you’ll find some hidden secrets. Maybe you’ll find some old explorer’s photographs, so you could know what the jungle look like at that time. Maybe you can find some ancient animals that we think are extinct already. It could be because the land was separate from the city, so the animals were not destroyed. You might find some evidence that aliens had came to Earth a long time ago, perhaps you’ll find another species that has been forgotten by other humans, but they have high technology that can stop the greenhouse effect. Maybe they have an easy, cheap way to produce lots of electricity. With these technologies, you could save the Earth and become famous. You would become rich by copywriting your discoveries. Maybe you could find rich diamond mine in the jungle! So if you found these things, it would make you rich and famous, just because of your adventure!

If you fear the dangers of the Amazon and give up your dream of exploring, your life might be normal and boring. But if you look further, and search out the secrets and friendship, you won’t quit your adventure. If you believe you can do it, the danger can’t stop you, and your dreams are right in front of you. There is a chance to become rich and famous, so trust yourself, and do it. You could find friends in the danger, and they might help you when you need help the most. So why don’t you trust your wilderness skills and have an exciting adventure in the Amazon rainforest?
