Jungle Mayhem - Part 2

Hello, Hello!! Welcome to the part-2 of our journey. So, where was I? Oh yes.....so we were just about to sleep, but Julia thought it was more important to tell her viewers about it.

After recording a bit with the camera, Julia went straight to her tent, and slept. And so did I.

Mr. Roy, me and Julia were snoring peacefully until we heard a strange, growling noise. "Hey....what's all this growling about?!" Mr. Roy complained. I was still confused so I decided to get up and see for myself. I didn't see anything. ROOAAAARRR!!! GROWWLLLLL!!! "Someone is growling again!!!" I screamed. "I know. It's a bear!!!! Run for your lives!!!!! And, wake Julia up!!!!" Mr. Roy said, worried. When I tried to wake Julia up, I learnt that she wasn't sleeping. She wasn't even there in the tent!

"I think a bear has kidnapped Julia." Mr. Roy said. "What?! It's impossible!! And what do you mean by KIDNAPPED?!!" I shouted. 

"Haha!!! Oh, sorry, guys..." Julia came out from nowhere, and started laughing. "Actually I am not kidnapped....I was the one who made the bear sound."

 I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout.

"WHAT?!!" I yelled at her. "Is that the way?!" She apologised. But, after few minutes, we heard the same sound. "Julia! Please have mercy on me. Stop tricking us again." I said. "I am not making any sounds. Trust me." Julia said, groggily. "Maybe that's a REAL, ALIVE, bear?!" Mr. Roy guessed. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!!" I exclaimed, in shock. Julia suggested, "Let's take a look towards the guide book. Maybe there is some useful information?" 

"But, I am a guide. Why don't you ask me?" Mr. Roy said, offended.

 Julia just sighed and she started flipping the pages of the guide book. "Aha! Here it is. If you feel that bears are going to invade your camping area, hang the trash by the branches of a tree. Next, keep two or more rocks in handy. Bang them together, so as to scare the bear away." Julia read out.

 Honestly speaking, I thought that banging the rocks may actually ATTRACT bears or some other animals, instead of scaring them away. But, the guide book must be written by someone professional. 

Right? So, we did the same as the book suggested. "Okay! Here I hang the garbage....and now let me collect some nice, big rocks...." I said. 

So, after we banged the rocks and made sure the bears had gone, we went and slept. Julia said, "I hope that we can atleast sleep peacefully, now!!" I agreed with her. We slept and snored. 

And, after few hours, we got up. I wished, "I hope today there will be no chaos and confusion!!" "Yeah!!" Julia replied, happily.Mr. Roy had started preparing for breakfast.

 Well, we were in the jungle, so we didn't have anything special and fancy to eat. We spotted some apple trees, and we carefully collected the fresh ones. The tree was short in height, so we were able to collect apples easily. ""Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!," Julia shrieked. Well, look!!!!! Mushrooms!!!!!Yay! !! So, today we all will have these mushrooms for dinner!! Or, why do we even need to delay, let's eat these now!!" 

I think Julia had gone a little crazy. We possibly couldn't eat those because...... THE MUSHROOMS COULD BE POISONOUS!!!!  

"Hey, calm down!!! We shouldn't eat those mushrooms. They could be poisonous!" I warned Julia. "Revs, Just Chill!!" She replied. 

Julia was just about to pluck the mushrooms, but some noises attracted her, and she totally forgot about the mushroom-plucking plan.

"Oooh-Aaah! Oooh-Aaah!" Someone sing-songed. Mr.Roy actually started dancing and singing!!

I slapped my forehead. What on earth is going on?!!!! 

Then, suddenly some faces appeared in front of us. They were wearing clothes made up of leaves. It didn't take a rocket-science to recognise who they were. They were the tribals of the jungle!!!! 

"Oooh-Aaah" They sing-songed again. Then, someone quickly came running towards us and grabbed our hands. They tied us with a long stick and they carried it and sang,"Yo-ho-ho! You're going to be our dinner today !!" 

Me,Julia and Mr. Roy shrieked and screamed!! Then, we kept walking and walking and walking. Some eagles came towards us, luckily, we were safe. 

But, the tribal group took us inside a tunnel. The tunnel was covered with beautiful and colourful leaves and flowers. "Excuse me, can you please untangle us from these sticks? It's hurting me...." I requested. 

"Humph! And what if you all run away?!" Their leader said. "No! We will not run away, really!!" I quickly added in. 

They dropped the sticks on the ground, and they whispered between themselves. "Psst..do you...psst.....shall we?......Psst!" 

"Okay, we've decided. We will untangle you." They informed. I sighed. 

Then they untangled us, and we stretched ourselves (because the rope was really tight) and we walked with them. 

What do you think will happen to us? Will we escape?
