The Tour Guide--Jason

A tour guide was showing people a tropical forest. One of the people asked what a mango tasted like, so the guide cut a mango off the tree and gave it to the person. The person took a bite and said it was the best thing he ever tasted, and it smelled good too. Then all the people wanted one. The guide cut all of the mangoes off the mango tree and they walked on.

They came to a guava tree heavy with guavas and the guide said, "Anyone want a guava?" And all the people yelled, "YES!" So the guide cut some of the guavas off the tree and gave two guavas to every person. They all popped the guavas into their mouths.

Suddenly, a jaguar jumped out of the bushes and ate all the people. It said, "Yummmmmmmmmm," and suffocated himself and died. He suffocated because he said yum too long without taking a breath.

All the king vultures came and ate some of the jaguar and all the insects buzzed overhead.

Creative and funny! Great demonstration of the food chain. I loved seeing your story published and how you re-worked and polished it since the first draft. Like a true author would! Love, Sharon (Mom)

My mom sent me the link to Jasons blog, and I must say his story was very interesting! Not the ending I expected... a little bit sad. But he really is a good writer! Please tell him I think he is very talented!

I really liked this story especially how mangoes both taste good and smell delicious. Then the big surprise was to have that beast jump after how nice everything was. But that's life! You're a good writer and I'm looking forward to see more of your work.

Love,

Phila

I really liked how the animals got the better of the people. So many times, it is the carelessness of man that results in the destruction of nature.

Bravo!
