“Finally! We’re there!” exclaimed Riley after their long journey.
You see, the three adventurers were off to explore an island they had discovered while fishing. Just as they had spotted the island, they saw an eagle emerge from a dive in the water, so it seemed fitting to call it Eagle Island. Then and there they decided to explore it, but first they needed to get there. They spent weeks making and perfecting a raft to sail out onto the island. Finally it was done and they had completed their journey.
“I’m exhausted,” Jared sighed.
“That was longer than I’d expected,” stated Shale, who was not one to complain.
“Well we can rest later… Let’s explore!” Riley shouted as she dashed down the beach.
“There she goes again,” Jared sighed, trudging after her.
“Wait up!” shouted Shale, catching up with Jared.
