== = = =**Not Such a Happy Camper**= = = =In the large city of New York there lived a girl named Sara. Sara lived on the fifth floor of an apartment on thirty second street. Her best friend was named Katie. Our story starts in Sara's small apartment.= = = =Sara was sitting in her room bored with her best friend Katie. " What do you want to do?" Sara asked Katie. = = = = '' I don't know, there's nothing to do" Katie said then continued, " I mean this city is boring, it is a sunny Saturday morning and don't forget we are in summer vacation, and there is absolutely nothing to do." They both thought for a while, but came up with nothing. = = = = The next day Sara's mom walked in and reminded Sara that tomorrow summer camp started. Katie and Sara would both be taking connecting train rides to the station near camp. Sara was so excited. They were going camping in the woods. = = = = "Finally!" Katie screamed excitedly. They had arrived at the camp sight to notice everyone getting ready for today's trip into the woods. The counselor, named Jenny took their bags and loaded them on the bus. = = = = As Jenny and the other counselors introduced themselves Katie and Sara thought about how much fun the camping trip would be. They might even catch some fish for dinner! Soon it was time to go. They hopped on the bus and set off for the Crystal Springs camping sight. That is where the camp went every year. = = = = When they got there they unpacked all of their heavy bags and started to set up camp. Sara was sharing a tent with Katie so they found a spot and began to set up their tent. They first placed the tent down, then the took the side panels and hammered them into the ground with special nails the camp provided. Then they inserted a large stick to hold the roof up. To their surprise they were the first ones done. After the tent set up they started on their next task, Unpacking. Both Katie and Sara brought large trunks with plaid sleeping bags. they laid them out and ran to Jenny to see what to do next. = = = = " Hello girls, done so soon!" she then handed them some brown clothes. " Her girls put these on, these are your camp's uniforms. Each uniform had white shirt with a bright red tie, knee high brown socks which matched a brown coat, some shorts ,and a brown hat. Sara absolutely hated these outfits and so did Katie, but it was the rule, and rules are rules. = = = = The next day they started the camping activities. They watched animals, looked at interesting plants and even found a small snake they named corn flake. Everyone was having a great time, except me. = = = = As Katie walked by to go look at a more "interesting" plant than the last one I pulled her aside to talk. = = = = " Katie" I whispered. = = = = "yeah" = = = = " Do find this camp in some way boring?" I asked. = = = = She soon replied " No, not at all I love looking at animals and finding interesting plants" = = = = " How can a plant be interesting? I can't even find any animal except corn flake and he is stuck in a cage. Oh and also while I was crossing the bridge I tripped and cut my knee. How can you find this camp at all fun?" I whisper-yelled at her. = = = = She then whisper-yelled back '' Why are you being such a fun sponge." = = = = I couldn't take it any more, Katie and I are no longer friends. Anyway camp is ending soon, just not soon enough. = = = = Finally the day came for camp to end. Before each of us got on the bus they took our picture with some jars of who knows what and a small turtle. And that is why I will never go camping again. =
