A short time ago, in a far away land called Sermantenia, there was a sixteen-year-old boy named Joe. This boy lived in the land all his life, and he never saw anybody like him. This boy was very smart, had red-ish hair, green eyes, and was tall and slender. He wore leaves as clothes. Joe always hunted for food and other people like him. He did not want to eat the people, he just wanted to see if there was anybody else like him.
One day, Joe was walking in the land and having a good time. He was running with his friends, which were all animals, because those were all the friends he had. Well, one day his “friends,” the bear, told him that people like him have found the land. Joe was so excited when the bear told him that. He is finally able to meet people just like him. Joe was also scared. He thought, “What if they are mean? What if they are just another creature?” As the men were searching the land, Joe was looking for them. There were many things going though his mind. “What are these people going to be like? What will they do to me? How will they speak? Will they understand me?” he wondered. All these questions were going though his head. While he was running and thinking with his eyes closed, he ran into the people that looked just like him. They were tall and strong. They had sharp claws that they called knives and balloons that popped that make very loud noises called guns. As he was eyeing them, they said “What are you looking at, small one?” Joe did not know what to say. The men picked him up and said again, “What are you looking at?” Joe stuttered and said, “N-n- nothing. I’m ju-just amazed to see people l-l-like me.” The men smiled and laughed, they and said, “Are you serious… you never saw anybody like you before?” Joe answered by saying, “No, sir.” The men looked confused and replied, “Well, umm, what is your name, young one?” “My name is Joe,” he answered. The other man replied, Nice name, mine’s Bookman John Bookman. How did you get here?” Joe was about to answer, then said, “I have know idea.” John was shocked. “You don’t know?! How could you not know- everyone knows where they come from!” Joe said, “Well, I don’t!” “Ugh, this is quite mad, my boy!”
The talking and yelling at each other went on and on. Then, suddenly, the bear, Joe’s friend, came and scared off John and the other men. Joe asked, “Bear, why did you do that?” Bear answered, “Because I was tired of the yelling and I could not sleep!” Joe and Bear both laughed together. Then, suddenly, Joe heard someone called his name about three or four times. It was Joe’s mom, Carmen. Then Joe woke up. Carmen yelled, “Joe, get up! You have to get up for school!” Joe thought the whole thing was real, but it ended up just a dream.
The End
