Thank God I’m
Alive By: Anand and Calvin
One summer day, Bob wanted to go hiking for his birthday. He
wanted his best friend, Joe, to go with him, and Joe agreed.
They planned to stay for three days and two nights. Joe was a
little hesitant because he knew the dangers of the wilderness.

They drove to a national park reserve which allowed campers.
They decided not to take their cell phones because they were
afraid that they would get damaged. When they got there the
forest ranger told them not to wander out to far from their
campsite because the mountain is very large and has many
dangerous animals.

As they were walking happily through the huge forest, Joe
suddenly stopped. He asked Bob hesitantly, "Do you remember
which way we came from?" Bob looked around and shook his
head. There were lost. "I knew this was going to happen," said
Joe as he was shaking his head. "I should have been smarter
and brought a cell phone. We are never going to make it back."
"It is fine," said Bob confidently. "We can find our way back, I
just know it." So Joe and Bob looked around frantically. After
a long 3 hours, they grew tired and decided to make a camp.
"At least you remembered the sleeping bags and food," said
Bob. That made Joe a little more confident.

Everyone slept terribly that night. They were very afraid that
some scary and animal would viciously tear them apart and eat
them while they slept. Joe told Bob that they should take
turns watching. Bob said “Yeah, whatever. But the dangerous
animals out there give me the creeps. You’re going first.” Joe
agreed hastily. He felt better that someone would be
watching his back when he slept. During the day, the still
tiredly wandered around the forest searching for an exit. The
day past and still they didn’t find a way to get out safely.

They searched for any sign of an exit, and found none. But,
they found a map. Their current position was in the middle of
the forest. Joe exclaimed “How did we get here?” The exit of
the forest was 11 miles away, and they had to cross two
creaks, which were as big as rivers. But, there was a forest
ranger post across the first creek, only 5 miles away.
Unfortunately, the post wasn’t on the map. So, they were very
disappointed.

They started on the long journey. The first day, they got to
the creak. It was long after dusk, so they didn’t want to cross
the river. The next day, they tried to cross the creak. When
they first saw it, they thought it was a mile wide, even though
it was only 100 feet across. As soon as they stepped into the
water, they howled because it was freezing. They decided to
build a raft. They used dead branches and little pieces of
string to make the raft. It took all day, so they had to spend
another night in the wilderness. The next day, they made two
ores, and it was probably noon by the time they finished. They
finished off the last of their food. They needed to cross the
creak fast. They hit the creak, and immediately felt its power.
They struggled for at least an hour against the power of the
creak, and finally crossed it. They knocked on the park
ranger’s door, and he finally took them to safety.

They rode the helicopter to safety. They decided to start a
TV show. Every month, they ventured out into the wilderness,
changing jobs as a camera man, and talk about how to survive
different wildernesses. They lived until they were 99. They
always remembered their first time in the wilderness.
