The J Adventure

“Ah, what a nice sunny day, it is.” Said John as he started to relax and lie down. It was his first holidays since he started working for the NEWSPAPER and he was going to make it count. He soon fell into a deep sleep on the sand and woke up in shock, he was lying on a bed in a room rocking side to side. “Where am I?!” He shouted as he sat up quickly. He heard footsteps and they became louder and louder, someone was coming.


That man was Captain Jake, the person who had taken him away. Now he had all the answers to his questions. He had been captured by pirates and 2 other men had been captured with him, but from other beaches. John soon got to meet the other men, their names were Jack and Jordan and as they were talking they found out that they have a lot in common. They all worked for newspapers, all on holiday, all were 31 years old and all of them started with a J. Weird ah?


“See you later guys!” shouted the captain as he pushed them off the ship and onto the cold snow of Antarctica. Luckily, earlier on that day, a kind sailor named Josh gave them warm layers of clothes and some supplies to live throughout the cold.


Thanks to Josh, John, Jack and Jordan were warm and were never hungry. They learnt more and more about each other every day, and soon realised that all the people they had met so far, their names started a J. So they named this “Trip”, “The J Adventure”


They started to also find out about awesome animals that they had never seen before. John, Jack and Jordan saw penguins waddling, seals in big colonies, whales jumping from the water, it was all the best thing that they had ever seen. One day, a penguin came right up to Jack and pecked him gently. It gave him a fright and made him jump from his seat making the penguin running just as scared as he was. 


That night, when they were all asleep, Jack was turning and moving and when he woke up in the morning, he felt SO sick! He couldn’t walk at all, he couldn’t even sit up properly. John and Jordan tried their hardest to look after them, but they didn’t have the right equipment to do so. Jack was getting more and more queasy by the minute. Days were going by and John and Jordan thought that they couldn’t do anything more, they were so worried. “Help! Somebody Help! Please Help!” That’s all they could do now.


A woman named Jane came running from what it seemed like nowhere. Jane took Jack back to her house and gave him medicine and gave him all the things that he needed. John and Jordan had to stay there for a couple of nights while Jack was healing up. Even though they were only there because Jack needed the help, John and Jordan really enjoyed having warm milos every night and having nice beds to sleep in because it felt like home.

Jack was much better and Jane had called someone to take John, Jack and Jordan home so they packed their bags (by the way, their bags were VERY light) said thanks and headed to the airport. On their way home, they realised that this was their last time with each other.


“Goodbye John and Jordan, thank you so much for letting me have the holiday of a lifetime and for looking after me when I was sick.” They had arrived in New Zealand and they were saying their goodbyes. The J Adventure had finished and they were going back to their normal lives. “Goodbye!” They all shouted sadly and relieved that they were back home as they walked away in their different directions.


The End

  1. I think that this is an excellent piece of writing Ana. You have used a variety of sentence and paragraph starters and used some inspirational ideas. Usually, when i have read your stories, I feel that they are a bit rushed towards the end - like you have run out of time and are trying to get to the end in a hurry... but this one flowed smoothly right until the end.
    Well done. Very proud of you.
    Love Mum:-)
