Sarah's+Making+Connections

As a young girl I loved to be adventurous. I would play a game of survival. From the kitchen I would fetch a bowl, water in a bottle, a plastic knife and three plastic place mats.

Using those utensils plus rope, four planks of wood and an old tin can, I would assemble a triangular hut that relied on balance, a sleeping mat and a bucket holding the rest of the items except the knife that I would store in the hole in the wood of our fence.

I would profess I had been there for for weeks when in actual fact it had only been a couple of hours.

After reading the novel 'The Cay' I would never wish to live this fairytale again. As my imagination is as far as I dream!
