SHIPWRECKED
Bob and his three headed pet goat Rego landed on the island after seven stormy days at sea. The ship had sunk to the bottom of the sea and Bob and Rego had to swim 8km to just to get to the island. They were both feeling exhausted and were only able to salvage a soggy tomato and lettuce sandwich, a wet notebook, a leaky pen and an empty wine bottle from the shipwreck.
Bob lay on the sticky wet sand with Rego as the powerful ocean current pushed them both towards the safety of the island. Bob and Rego needed to find shelter, food and water.
They drag themselves off the sand and spy two vicious birds as large as a pterodactyls looking for prey in the palm trees. Without any weapons to fight the birds off Bob is scared.
Bob looked around the island and found a dead man lying near a large birds nest. Bob thought he might be the birds next victim. He used the dead mans crisp white shirt to quickly make a knife using only Origami. A technique he learnt from his mother.
“Oh no a bird,” says Bob dramatically.
A wild bird chases Bob and corners him on the edge of a mountain. Bob tries to fight the bird off with Rego but when they loose balance they both fall off the cliff.
Rego landed first and as Bob was flying through the air he luckily landed on Rego’s three heads cushioning his fall and saving his life. This would have instantly killed a normal goat but since Rego is different from other goats with three heads and six horns he survived.
With so many close calls Bob decided to write a letter to an old friend.

To my best friend Jeremy,
I might not make it out alive but just remember you are my best friend.
I’ve chosen to go forward even though I’ve lost all my supplies. I am eating a soggy sandwich I saved from the shipwreck while I write this and it tastes as good as a cheeseburger to me as I have not had food in such a long time and I’m so hungry.
I made a sharp knife out of a dead man’s shirt using only Origami and that’s got me this far.
If I ever see you again know this, live my legacy.
Bob
P.S. I hated you for stealing my cookie in Year 10.

Bob rolled the message into the wine bottle saved from the wreckage and sealed it with the cork making a squeaky sound. He took the bottle to the ocean and threw it into sparkling water.
Just then Rego went crazy rouge and started butting Bob with his multiple horns trying to get Bobs attention.
Bob thought Rego was trying to kill him and started to freak out. Bob was lying on the ground with Rego breathing all over him with three mouths.
“STOP REGO,” says Bob loudly.
“STOP IT, STOP IT, “ screams Bob fighting for his life.
Just then Bob hears a long loud “HONK” which sounds like a ferry from his hometown. Bob wiped his eyes in disbelief. He thought he was dreaming but floating on the ocean horizon was a ferry.
Rego was just trying to save him.
Bob hugged Rego and kissed all three heads. Bob said to Rego happily, “We’re going home.”
Bob arrived home safely and ran quickly along his parent’s street.
He saw his mothers favourite golden wattle tree and knew he was almost home. His mum opened the door thinking it is the mailman and was surprised it was her son.
Bob handed his mum the sharp origami knife made from a dead mans shirt and she used it to calve the chicken at the family dinner table that night. Rego and Bob always preferred the soggy sandwiches from their shipwreck adventure over his mum's cooking but never told her as it was their little secret.
