I have been walking now for eight hours. By now I knew I was lost. Out of all the places I would like to get lost at I end up in the Amazon in the middle of all these wonderful yet dangerous creatures. I decide to take a break and take a seat on the ground. I take off my backpack and take out some crackers that I had brought. As I sat there enjoying my crackers I noticed a capybara shyly approached me. I tossed him a cracker I realized how scary but wonderful it was to be lost.

I was eight years old when I first went to the zoo. I remember bugging my parents constantly until they finally gave in. Luckily we went the very next day. There were so many animals but my favorite was the giraffe. I anxiously asked my mom if I could feed it but she refused and told me to just look. As I watched the animal gracefully walking around with the other giraffes I wondered if he missed his home. Does he even know where he is? I felt bad for him and without realizing a tear rolled down my cheek.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning for a jog. It had been months since I have exercised so I thought I would begin today. I warmed up a little by stretching my arms and legs. Once I was ready I began to jog down the street from where I lived. Twenty minutes down the road and I was exhausted. I stop to catch my breath and to my horror a big black dog came at me. I quickly began to jog again trying to get as far away from him as possible. The last thing I heard was teeth gnashing.
