James and Rosie were American siblings who lived in a camp. Guess what? Their parents ran a camp business in the middle of the woods to earn money. But this was not your usual camp- it was different. Families bought wooden huts and stayed permanently. Some would visit to check it out but leave. Lots of others would not even see the huts but just buy it. Because only in this camp you could stay forever in the woods.
One day , James and Rosie were playing in a sand park when a blast of sand went into their eyes . They ran as the sandstorm started to raise from tops of sand castles and everywhere else. This was usual. So they knew what to do if it went into their eyes. They ran into a little hut cause their house was so far away. This hut was theirs , so no one would try to come in. Older kids from the camp were given huts, a few blocks away where could they stay alone as long as they wanted.
They washed their eyes with warm water from the clay pots in the hut. And then they were gonna rest overnight. They knew where food was found , so they were to stay over for atleast twelve days. They stepped outside. The sandstorm was down a bit but still it was blowing sand from every corner of the hut. They wore little capes on their heads so the sand wouldn't go into any part of their body. They went outside and ran quickly as the wind.
James and Rossie reached a place where berries, fruits and vegetables and lots of rice grew. They were put into bags which were sewed out of papyrus . They just had to take the rice, steam it and eat it. Next they grabbed a few fruits for their breakfast. Then they ran to the hut. Before that they stopped at a lake and took a pot from a pile. The siblings changed into their night clothes .
Before they started the fire they had to get wood. And then they made the fire by lighting a matchstick and putting it on the wood. The fire started to raise up, howling onto every side. Felt really warm. They poured oil so that it stayed high. James kept on pouring oil so it wouldn't go down. Rosie got veggies, water and the pot. She didn't get the fruits cause it was for the morning. She got the rice too . Then James and Rosie cooked over the fire. They kept the grill and lowered the fire. How did they do it? They didn't pour a lot of oil when it went down. Just a really little bit. . Rossie washed the pot with some water. Then James helped to put some oil into the pot, the rice, salt , spices and some veggies. There were a lot of vegetables, so they took the other veggies , put them on a stick, put some cheese and fried it on the fire. After they were done with everything, they opened out the pot and a good smell went out of the windows. The smell of the food attracted the animals in the woods but the fire scared them away.
They took metal plates and put their food on it. Jack and Rosie each had two sticks of cheesie vegetables with a bowl of rice . After they were done eating , they packed the leftover food. They transferred the rice into a bowl and closed it up . They also filled their bottles with water to drink. Since they were very thirsty, they poured some water into two cups and drank it right away. Next they washed the two cups and kept them to dry inside the hut.
Now it was time to sleep. So they took their lamp and caught some fire into it and then put off the camp fire. They went inside the hut and placed the lamp in the middle of the two beds which were made of papyrus.
Pulling on their woolen blankets , they went into story land. Finally they blowed out their lamp fire. And went to sleep.
In the morning the door was suddenly open!! James got up and ran to close the door. And James woke up Rosie and asked her if she had opened the door? She clearly said no and added that it might be the wind since they didn't lock the door. James and Rosie cleaned up all the sand and put it outside. When the sand storm was gone, they bathed in a nearby Lake and put on new clothes. There was a wooden shelf in the hut and they always kept an extra reserve of clothes incase they needed it. After they were done bathing, they picked some more fruits and went right back to the hut. Oh! Did I tell you this? Only ages 14- 16 yrs were allowed to stay in the hut. Others would have their little play areas but couldn't stay. Rosie and James were of the correct age. Rosie was 14 yrs and James was 15 yrs. James was right in the middle but Rosie had just started off. They called her Rosie cause she LOVED roses. But her real name was Rosa.
Now let's go back to the story. They went to the hut and took their berries . They also took their chocolate which was stored in a pot. They had them cause their grandma had made them for a special occasion. They took the chocolates , put it in a pot and melted it over the fire. After they were done melting , James got the berries and fruits and then they put the fruits in the same stick that they put the cheese and veggies on.Next they dipped the fruit sticks in the chocolate pot. After some time, the choco-fruit sticks were ready to eat. Which they promptly did!!. They packed up the rice so that they could share it with their family . After all this was done , they started to really miss their parents.
They decided to go home after all. They ran home, hugged their parents and told them all about how they had a wonderful stay at their hut!
THE END.
