Lost on the Amazon

Meg, who was with child, stood on a small island in the middle of the Amazon River, wishing her shadow was hidden by the rocky crags of the Brazilian Highlands, away from the sun. It was a hot day and she was very uncomfortable, in two ways. The first was with the heat, but, more importantly because she was lost. You see - well, let's start from the beginning.
.
She was online looking for an exotic getaway to South America, preferably near the Amazon River, when she spotted a great deal. She could purchase a package from Coupon Mania for only $20!!! The package included a luxury plane ticket to the Amazon Airport, a 5-star luxury hotel room for a week with breakfast-in-bed, and a great tour ride. Wow, she thought. Those things in the package would surely cost hundreds each!!! How could she turn down such a perfect offer? A week later she was off. She spent a few wonderful days sightseeing. Today she had gone on her Amazon tour. They had stopped at a small island in the middle of the river, but when they took off again the driver of the boat had forgotten her.
.
So now she was trapped. And she felt her baby coming earlier than it was supposed to. Don't panic, she thought panickingly. She yelled out. No answer. After trying again, someone answered. Or rather, some thing. A dolphin came toward her. His clicking made her think he wanted her to climb onto his back. Finding no other choice, she held on and he sped off, taking her to shore. There she thanked the dolphin and saw the boat. She chided the driver for leaving her there on the island. Remembering what she had been feeling stranded on the island, she asked the captain to take her to the hospital. A litle baby girl was born, whom she named Delphis, Greek for dolphin, after the dolphin that saved them both.

- Silly Sally was telling our dad about how our homework assignments work and had him create 3 each of settings, characters, and conflicts. Then he picked one of each and I said that would be my seperate writing assignment for today.
.
Part of the fun in this is that I looked up where the Amazon is located, and it is near Uraguay, and the mouth is near the Brazilian Highlands. Also, I learned the Greek for 'dolphin'.

Tomorrow I will post my Wrting class homework for co-op.
