-PART 6-
‘There we go!’ he said and jumped from the tree…
For a moment he felt like he was flying. I should yell like Tarzan, went through his head for some reason. But the tree on the other side was getting very close. He had to let go and grab one of the branches, or he would get stuck in the middle of the river. Oh no, help me, he thought and he let go. His fingers were trying to grab anything they could find. Funny enough, they weren’t the first parts to find support; his feet were. They landed on the roots of a big mangrove tree. He felt he was tilting backwards towards the river. Luckily he could hold on to the branches above his head and Ray slowly stood straight up.
He looked at Rachel, who was looking at him like he just turned into a flying monkey.
Ok, be cool, Ray, he thought, be cool…
‘your turn now, Rache.’ He said.
‘Ray, I’ve done things in this forest, like stealing back my purse from monkey’s and climbing in trees to find out there is a giant spider sitting in front of me, but I’ve never, éver swung over a fast streaming river filled with alligators and leeches using only a vain!’
Oh my, are there alligators and leeches there?! Went through his head.
‘Uhh.. well, you should try it. It’s great fun!’ he said, failing on trying to be funny.
