My First Night in the Woods



Hi everyone, Sam here

My first night did`nt go so well. It was hard to start a fire. I had to whittle a hook for fishing, I caught a fish but it got away. It was getting dark it was cold no food., no water, no fire. I got to scared to sleep outside but I saw a cozy warm home,the lights were on smoke was coming from the chimney I ran up the hill knocked on the door. A wise looking old man opened the door and let me in he told me how to make fire. Hopefully my second night in the woods will go better.
