【妙笔成篇】
It's been three days since the other teammates left the jungle and went back home, accidently leaving me alone. I was lost in the jungle and lost contact with them with my cellphone shut off.
All day in the jungle, while I had been walking, I had heard noises of animals. In order to keep warm and keep the animals away from me, I made a fire. As is known to us all, some insects in the jungle can be very dangerous. Fortunately, I had the insect repellent to protect myself against bites. Water was my biggest worry at first, but I discovered a river with the help of nests of some insects. There was no doubt that I no longer worried about looking for water.
Now I am worried about food. It is only enough for one person to eat for a week. If I can't walk out of the jungle or be rescued within one week, I will have to find things to eat in the jungle, such as some insects, which people wouldn't normally want to eat. I believe that I can get home again in one week, because the sun and stars can help me find the way.
