Chapter: Huts on the Beach
Perspective: Simon
Just Me and Ralph
Today was a very enjoyable day. Today, unlike any of the other ones, seemed to be extremely pleasurable and peaceful. Most of the day I helped Ralph build the huts on the beach. The first thing we did was dig big ditches in the ground. The vicissitudes of digging the hole left me very exhausted by the time we were finished. Ralph and seemed to get together very well today. I was just happy that I got a chance to further help the community by building these huts for shelter.
I for one thought that the huts were built very well and that the rest of the boys would appreciate the work that we had done for them. At first the huts seemed inscrutable, but then they became clearer when we hung the string of leaves up for a roof that was almost opaque. At one point I found Ralph staring at the huts with a rapt expression that probably meant he was delighted to help and was satisfied with our final product. Often times throughout the hours we were working, Ralph susurrations left me wondering what he wasn’t saying with his full vocal projection.
The rest of the day felt so peaceful. My afternoon was full of life, listening to birds chirp, bees hum and watching colorful flowers bloom. The feeling was hard to describe. Being alone in the middle of a forest watching nature’s works was a privilidge to me considering that I am stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere with nothing but boys who seem to slightly misbehaved and uncontrollable. But the thought would never be able to overpower the feeling of mother doing the miracles of everyday life right before my eyes.
The bees, butterflies and flowers weren’t the only thing surrounding me. The peaceful forest was covered in bright fruit. The fruit was so juicy with a taste that was irresistible. I couldn’t help but do the right thing and pick some of the other fruit for the other boys.
Today was a good day on the island. I just wish that I could have more times like that to be alone and not have to worry about anything or anyone, just me and Mother Nature. The huts were nice too. I really enjoyed the opportunity to work together with Ralph to create shelters for the boys. Today ending on a good note, with just me and the forest and started on a good note with just me and Ralph.
