We had been castaways now for what we reckoned to be about 6 weeks. We had been on a sailing trip around the Pacific, visiting the islands of Tonga, Fiji and Samoa as part of a once in a lifetime adventure holiday. Some adventure. Our boat, The Wayfarer, had scraped against some rocks as we drew into a narrow bay on an island half way into our journey from Samoa to Fiji. The damage did not at first seem too bad, but we later discovered that a tiny leak had sprung near the keel due to the impact. Whilst sailing southwards the next day, we noticed water in the hold and realised we had a major problem. The Wayfarer capsized and sank, but not before we managed to release and climb into the lifeboat. In all the confusion, we lost track of the captain (the only adult on the trip) and so far we have not seen even a trace of him. The lifeboat drifted haphazardly for the remainder of that day and well into the night, before we eventually struck land. Tired, cold and hungry, we gathered up the supplies we had and set out to explore the island – our new home.

We’re are running out of food and fast. We have found bushes with berries, but when someone tried one he turned into Super Pickle with veggie powers. Water isn’t so good either. We’ve found a stream that doesn’t look like water. It gave us all extra body parts (noses, eyes, legs, ears, arms Etc.). We’ve explored almost all the island except the volcano. The last time we went near we found an inscription of a lava monster only to be destroyed by the thing we hate the most, veggies. It was weird, and yet we leave to go to the volcano tomorrow…
The next day they went near the volcano island. They could already hear a roar from the monster, one of the guys tried to run away but he knew he would need help getting back, his name is Lennie he had a best friend carl who was also on the trip.but when they came to the island they had to travel from one mountain to the volcano island, the bridge was old and Lennie was afraid so he needed carl to help him focus on something else. Anyway they kept on going once in a while there came a roar from the monster. The roar kept on getting louder and Lennie kept on getting afraid , he tried everything but the others just wouldent go home. Now they were so close to the volcano that they thought they might be able to see the monster. What would keep them going they are getting hungry and thirsty?
We have found a place to sleep at one forest. there were many fruits such as raspberry, cherries, and more. Because we were hungry we ate raspberry and cherries which was near to us. It was deliciouse!!!! It was sooo deliciouse that we all went some other places to find some other fruits. We found some fruits but it was also a raspberry and cherries. But something was different from the berries and cherries from the place where we were going to sleep. So I was going to tell them that it is different from it. but they were eating berries already. and at that time…..
We managed to find a cave on the island that wasn’t filled with eighter bats or bears before sunset. And withsome woods, leaves and some of our facinating surviving skills, we turned the cave into a not so lovely home. At night, it was cold, crowded, smelly, and rocky in the cave. But all of us had a good night’s sleep, after all the wierd and exciting adventure today. The next day we woke up, ready for a hike up that lava flowing mountian. We made some containers and filled it with sea water. “Our plan is to pour water on the lava monster when we see him.” said our new captain. So we started our explore up the volcano.
Sorry Se Yeon, i didn’t know you posted your entry before me.
I will continue Yu Yens story…
It was a long and rocky climb, we kept climbing until it was time for lunch. Unfortunetly, we had no lunch so we kept climbing in on. The crust was getting hotter and hotter. We knew it was an active volcano. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble, we stopped dead in our tracks. The ground rumbled, shook it self. We yelled, “Run For Your Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” We raced down in a world record speed. We tumbled fell over each other, we were only 20 yards away from the shaking volcano. Then it burst it self apart and then…….
Somebody continue it…
they ran dawn so hard they fall dawn and they watch back. Brust was stop but magmas were came to them fastly. They run for there life again and they ran dawn to the sea and now magma was cool dawn. They saw big wave on the sea it was tsunami and they ran in to the cave and hide in cave……
This is a continuation of Jung Bin’s story
Then the lava monster appeared out of nowhere. Unfortunately in was in the middle of a shower and when it saw us it got really angry and wanted to eat us all! So we ran and ran and ran and soon we were out of breath. Then Super Pickle came with the Veggie League. The veggie league consisted of Terrific Tomato, Crazy Carrot, Giant Green Bean, Super pickle, and Bob the Builder (yep, He’s a veggie). Sadly, they weren’t enough. Then the ground rumbled, lightning was in the sky and from the ground came Veggie God, the creator of all veggies used his powers to weaken the lava monster, then went straight back to his home underground. No good bye or anything. All he said was, “He’s weakened now go kill him yourself.” Of we still have to fight him…
Whoops. Didn’t know you wrote something Gyu Min.
We were all scared so no one tried to kill the Lava monster until all the boys got scared and started running around like crazy and yelling, the Lava monster thought it was so funny so he laughed and laughed, but then my accident Richard, Giu min and luca pushed the lava monster! the lava monster stopped laughing and started falling back into the volcano.
“I WILL GET YOU GRADE 5s” shouted the lava monster as he fell back to the volcano. Since everybody was scared for the next eruptions all of grade 5 started going back down the volcano!
I will continue Asya’s story
But It was already too late, the volcano erupted and then lava started to go down the volcano and rushing to us. After that, the lava started to morph into little lava monsters. There were millions of the monsters running towards us. We couldn’t outrun the little monsters and then Michael started thinking. “We need to think of a plan, something that will destroy them, using water, lead them into a river- and then Luca interrupted and said “Michael, there is a river right there.” Michael then said “Hey! don’t interrupt me I,m THINKING!!!” Then the whole of grade 5 said “THERE IS A RIVER RIGHT THERE!!!!” “Oh, then why didn’t you say so?” “Now we just need to figure out how to lure them into the river…”
and finally some one shuted:” EVERYONE USE THE ROCK ON THE GROUND TO HIT THE LAVA MONSTERS TO THE RIVER!!!!! HURRY!” so every one start hiting themonsters but there were only 31of us but 100 of them. but the monsyers were angry and they are trying to kill us!! we use eye contact to tell each otheres that make a circle to protect Na Hyun because got hurt by the munsters. and soon more and more people got hurt so the protection circle is smaller and smaller. we have to think of something ! 5m later, only 16 people can still stand up but no one has got anything yet.”now every one,”shouted Jung Bin. as he’s trying to save him self and others” I don’ want to say this but I have to… who got hurt, I know that is hard for you to fight but for all of us. you have to! there ‘s only about 30 monsters left and they are so tired so we can do this…
does any one know how to change the photo thing next to your comment?
I will continue Sabrina’s story…
When the monster only has left 31 of them, Mr.Thinky, YuYen shouted, “Woo!!! I’ve got an idea, FOLLOW ME!!!”When we follow Yu Yen, we were at middle of the forest, and he said we have to climb the tree. Whoops! One of the monster caught Jung bin’s leg and he said,”Oh! Mr. Handsome Monster! Please to hurt me… “Then, the brave girl called Se Yeon jumped from the top tree and hit the monster’s head. Boing!!! When she rescues Jung Bin, he was acting that he didn’t do anything at all.
Then, Smart girl called Yool bi, said,” Be careful you guys! There are more and more monsters coming! Quickly to climb the tree! 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!
“Make them confuse by making a noise” Asya said. Then, we made the noise by thick branches. When we were making a noise, Mr.kimber said “Great job, guys you guys are doing well in making noise…
And then Yu Yen shouted more louder. Jung Bin said be quiet! Other wise he will kick Yu Yen’s butt! Jung Bin kicked Yu Yen’s butt, and then monster waked up…
Monster swallowed Mr. Kimber and a soccer ball. Mr. Kimber kicked the soccer ball inside the monster’s tummy. Se Yeon Laughed a lot. Monster swallowed Jung Bin too!!
The monster said “You said hurt yourself!!”
Se Yeon kicked and pinched the monster’s tummy very hard.
Jung Bin and Mr. Kimber is in the poo….
And Se Yeon did…..
I thought there wern’t any adults with us.
Somewhere else in the island…
The veggie league was dying. Nothing would heal them except… Veggie God! Suddenly the Veggie God appeared out of nowhere. “Heal us,” Said Bob weakly. Instead of healing them Veggie God put them in a straight line, and punched the veggies. They all went flying across the island. Hmm, thought Veggie God, I would of thought they would of hit a tree by now. Simultaneously, the Veggie League hit a tree and became something incredible. Vicious Veggie Burger…
How come there is so many characters?
There were only a few characters….. how come grade 5 is involved?
I don’t know!!

The viscous veggie burger was screaming and shouting and yelling at us. Then All the boys started drooling so the boys started biting the Viscous veggie burger.
“hey girls since we are all starving let’s also start eating the veggi burger ” said Ji hyun. The girls nodded and they alll started to eat the veggie burger.
“Stop!!!!!!!Stop!!!! Stop please stop” shouted the veggie burger. Everybody stopped eating.
“If you stop eating me I can show you the way back to the coast so you can go back to your homes. Everybody thought of it and agreed. We started walking…until Jung Bin said
“Hey Veggie burger can you carry us on your bun, if you don’t we will eat you” the veggie burger agreed and we started headin back down by the coast…
Hey 5K! Jung Bin sent me this site and I’m glad to see you’re all still going strong with your story writing. I also love that killer food is still a theme in your stories. It’s hysterical.
