It’s a man’s worldLonger version

by Justin Eloriaga

Walking past the bushes in the forest, I had seen 5 grasshoppers eating grass and being eaten by 1 bull frog. I was amazed at the site of the consuming. Monkeys were hanging over mangrove trees. They were eating bananas from the tree next to them. As I got through the end of the woods I saw crayons on the rocky sediment below which was probably dropped by students in the nearby schools. I looked back at the beauty of nature beside me. As I went to explore the other side of the woods, I saw a seagull swooped a fish out of the water. When the seagull returned it was eaten by the snake. There was a cabin beside the lake they were eating snake for lunch.
