Peter And Lost City Essay, Research Paper

Last year, Peter looked for a lost city. It was in the Amazon jungle. He didn’t

fly. The plane was too expensive. He took a bus to Spain and a ferry to Africa.

He crossed the dessert by camel. He did not find the lost city. He looked at his

map and saw a mistake. The Amazon wasn’t in Africa. It was in South America. So

he decided to take a boat to Brazil. The boat was old, but it did not sink. The

weather was bad. It was very windy and Peter was sick for two weeks ,but he was

able to arrive to Brazil. Peter’s vacation was almost over, but he decided to

find the lost city. He took the hovercraft up the Amazon. The hovercraft

stopped. ”The river is shallow,” said the captain. Peter stepped off the

hovercraft. The river was deep and he almost drowned. He walked through the

jungle for two weeks and crossed rivers. He also climbed mountains, but he was

not able to find the lost city. Then he got lost and didn’t know were he was.

Suddenly, Peter saw some Indians. They were very fierce. But he was not afraid.

”I am not afraid of anything,” said Peter. ”Where is the Lost City? Peter

asked. ”Go straight ahead,’’said the Indian. He was very friendly. ”Take the

second path on the left. The lost city is on the right.” Peter traveled through

the jungle for three days. He did not find the lost city. He came to the sea and

looked at his map. He saw his mistake and took the second path on the left. He

had lunch at a hotel and swam in the pool. Then he bought some provisions, and

went back into the jungle. He met the friendly Indian again. ”Straight ahead,”

he said,’’second path on the left.” Peter finally found the lost city. It was

night, and the moon was shining. The lost city was beautiful in the moonlight.

He camped for the nigh and put up his tent. He cooked dinner. ”I’ll be

famous,” he thought. ”People will remember Peter Robert’s- the man who found

the lost city.” The next morning, he woke up at five thirty. He wanted to

explore the lost city and found treasures. Peter came out of his tent . The lost

city was full of people and he met a tourist from California, whose name was Sam

Thomas. They started to talk about the life in the Amazon River and its people.

Sam’s opinion about this subject was that the Amazanian’s were not friendly, but

Peter totally disagreed. Peter claimed that he had had very good experiences

with the Indians. He said ”When I was traveling throughout the Amazon, looking

for the Lost City, I got lost a couple of times, and the Indians were very

friendly and gave me some directions to get there. They told me that if I ever

needed their help to count with them all the time. This wasn’t enough for Sam’s

opinion to change. Suddenly Sam grabbed Peter’s suitcase and ran away with it.

Peter was shocked and became very worry, because he had in the suitcase his

medication for diabetes. Time passed, Peter kept walking for hours, but he

became very sick. He stopped and laid down under a tree. Peter rubbed his eyes

and wondered where he was. After a couple of hours Peter saw the friendly Indian

passed by, Peter told the Indian what had happened and agreed to help him right

away. The Indian called out his tribe and they decided to take Peter to the

house and take care of him, while the other half left looking for Sam. As time

passed, Peter was becoming very weak. The Indians came back the next morning,

they were very upset, because they didn’t find Sam. After one week, one of the

Indians came with good news, because he had found Sam. He was 200 miles away

from the Lost City and at the beginning , when the Indian tried to talk to him,

Sam thought that he was going to be assaulted. However, the Indian was able to

explain to him the health problems that Peter suffered. This changed Sam’s

opinion about the behavior of the Indians, since they were trying to help Peter

by finding the suitcase that contain Peter’s medication. Sam realized how

important was to bring the medicine back to Peter, and decided to rent a private

air plane to meet with Peter. Fortunately, Sam was able to arrive on time for

Peter to take his medicine right away. This was a key factor to avoid the dead

of Peter. After this happened, Sam cried in front of Peter and said: ” How

wrong I was about this wonderful people” , please, forgive me. They both were

able to become friends and invite the Indians to America. Peter thought ” I

almost die, but I sure was able to find the Lost City”.
