Sound of the Shell view point.

We were on our way out of the orphanage. I was with my choir and a few little kids. I had plenty to eat on the plane ride because I told the little'uns to give me their food. For some reason, the plane landed on an island and the choir was scared. The little pipsqueak, Simon, was telling me something. He was really irritating him so I pushed him to the back of the choir. We were walking on TOW sand and the island had a kind of glamour. Then all of a sudden, we heard a big sound coming from the other side of the island. We had already started looking for food but it sounded like a big ship. The choir boys looked at me, INCREDULOUS, I was very proud that they thought of me as their leader. We rushed to the sound. but all that there was was a boy with a shell. I thought that we must look really silly with our HAMBONE FRILLS and black robes, so I ordered the boys to take them off. The palm FRONDS above us shaded us from the afternoon sun. The small boy at the front began to speak. He obviously wanted to be leader but i was the obvious choice. So, I spoke up. All the choir boys voted for me but the other kids voted for the Ralph kid. He did not seem like he could be a leader but, I thought that maybe we could get along and be friends. He gave me charge of the choir. But, really, I will just be in charge of everyone. He does not seem like the type that could really lead a group of boys. I told everyone that we needed fire and figured out that we needed to PINCH the fat boys specks. we made the fire and then Ralph and I decided to take a look at the island. We brought Simon along although I did not want to. He proved to be a big help and I was glad that we had him along. well, that was day 1 on the island. I will take over the position of leader. After all, Ralph can't stay in it for too long. But, I am kind of nervous.
