The first night on the boat was crucial. I was stuck holding for my life at the edge of the lifeboat. The zebra was just laying there in pain. He had a broken leg. I wasn't sure of where Richard Parker was. Did he fall off the boat and drown? Did he swim away? Did he find another floating device for survival? There were too many questions that I needed answers to. Later, I realized why the sailors threw me overboard onto the lifeboat. There was a hyena on here. They wanted me to get rid of it. Did they really expect a fourteen year old boy to get rid of a man-eating hyena? Ha-ha. Well, the hyena didn't attack me, it kept to its own business. I suffered through watching the gruesome death of the zebra. I would rather not go through the gory details. Little did I know, Richard Parker was hiding underneath the tarpaulin. For some reason, my nerves relaxed when I realized Richard Parker was present. Maybe it was because I knew that they hyena wouldn't attack me with a Bengal tiger on board. I'm not quite sure. Later on, we had an unexpected guest join our crew. Orange Juice, an Oran-utan from Pondicherry. It was quite funny, actually. She came floating on an island of bananas! One zebra, one hyena, one tiger, and one human boy all on the same boat. Will I survive?
