One day I was out on my grandpa's farm that was a rain forest.
It was the Xmas holidays, so I was up there for three months.

Every day when I was getting my breakfast I would always look out the kitchen and Pa would always say, ' Well if you want to go out there, then you can go right out there after you've eaten all of your breakfast' as a way of saying,"when I was a kid we would just go out there, so what are you standing there for, just go out" but for a day or two I'd just be in my room, then I went out there the day after Pa had that talk with me.

That day, as I was going in Pa went to the back door and said, 'You can stay out there while we're having tea, I'll even leave the back door open for the whole night if you want to stay out there. Just remember to pack two sets of sandwiches so you have some food for tea' .
So that's what I did.

I first went over a old log that had fallen down.
Then I saw a great big grey 'roo that had been killed by something about 5 minues earlier, but whatever it was knew that I was coming; I just thought it was a Dingo or something.

Then I came to a cave which had a bit of light in it.
When I came to the bit of light I found out that the cave was a old bridge for a old river that used to run right under it.

Then I came to a great big treeless spot on top of a hill.
The hill then led into some sort of track way made in the grass, but it couldn't have been made by any 'roos 'coz it had a bit of human skin that had some how been cut off by a thorn on a nearby rose bush.
I just said to myself,'It's most likely that it's from Pa's roses 'coz he cuts himself on his own rose bushes, and maybe a bird or something like that has dropped it while taking it to it's nest'.

As I was walking along I heard a strange noise that was blood curdling.
I thought it was a hurt 'roo that had stamped through the forest and into the back garden the day before, but when I saw it, at first I thought it was a bat awake during the day.
As I looked harder I saw some kind of person that had been lost but as the clouds moved out of the way of the sun I saw what looked like a dog's head.
I started to back away but it jumped into the trees that were in the way of the only way of getting back, then I just turned around and I just ran as fast as I could and that's when I came to a river which was in the way of the way I was exiting.
So you know what I did? I just went right through the river and I didn't look back when I was across the river and on the other side.

I ran up to an old house and locked the door behind me, and I looked through the door and saw how the boy stopped at the river and I just laughed when I saw this.
When I looked up it was studying the river and how it was going to get over; I thought it saw me in the old house, so I just went down on the floor and put my back to the wall and waited for the worst, but it didn't see me.

After about 5 minutes I heard a great big thump, then some footsteps, and another noise which I didn't know at that moment 'coz I was just hoping it wouldn't come through the window.
That's when I thought it was sniffing ( and it was), so I just stood still until I heard a great big thump as it was trying to open the door.
But when the thumping at the door stopped I heard a smash of the window and Iopened the door and was about to run out when I spotted a gun that was loaded.
So then I tried to take a pot-shot at it but it wasn't dead 'coz the bullet was a blank.

So I just ran and ran towards a cave that had a bush in the hole that led inwards, but as I was about to get inside the cave I fell into a snare that was tied to a tree and then the thing was cutting me down, but not to save me, but to take me to it's camp.

It took me to the camp alright, but not to eat me.
It took me to a shelter and there inside the shelter was what looked like the leader, it then bit me on the arm and I was out cold for 2 days and I woke up to find a female version of the things.

When I looked into a puddle I saw that I had been turned into one of them but as I was about to run the female took me outside where there was some sort of custom.
I was taken into the leader's shelter and he gave me his head dress, now you're probably thinking this leader is big and strong, but he wasn't, he was weak and dying, so he just gave it to me and from then on I was the leader of those people and the female version was my Queen and I was the King of those people and so I was the BOY WHO LIVED IN THE FOREST.
