Uploaded | My name is Sam. I’m thirteen years old. I decided to leave my home to live in the wilderness. | |
Uploaded | It's January. The trees have a lot of snow and ice on them. It's cold. I watch the animals in the snow. | |
Uploaded | Finally the ice starts to melt. It is not as cold. The days are getting warmer. Spring is almost here on the mountain. | |
Uploaded | I find some plants popping up through the snow. | |
Uploaded | One day a boy came to my mountain. Who is he? His name is Matt Spell. He wants to write a story about the wild boy in the woods. | |
Uploaded | I don’t want Matt to write about me. People will find me. I make up a story about a wild boy I saw once. It is not true. | |
Uploaded | Matt stays for dinner. He knows I am the wild boy people talk about. He promises he won’t write about me if he can come back. | |
Uploaded | The days are warmer and the sun shines. Who is here now? I met Aaron, a man hiking in my woods. He writes songs. | |
Uploaded | The woods is turning green. Matt will be back soon for a visit. He wants to see how I live on the mountain. | |
Uploaded | I don’t want Matt to see my camp. I don't want him to find it. I put a blindfold on his eyes so he can’t see where we are going. | |
Uploaded | Who else comes back? Bando returns. Matt, Bando and I make another house in a tree before they leave. It is for my guests. | |
Uploaded | Who else is on my mountain? A photographer comes to my woods. I tell him he can take my picture. | |
Uploaded | Who else comes to my mountain? More photographers come. They want to take my picture and write stories about me. I let them. | |
Uploaded | Guess who is here now? I hear my dad’s voice. He brings my mom and all my brothers and sisters to my mountain. | |
Uploaded | My family has come to live on the mountain with me. Dad is putting up hammocks for everyone to sleep in until he builds a house. | |
Uploaded | Mom tells me until I turn 18 I will live with my family. We will live together on my mountain. We will make this our home. |
