Answer:
So there I stood, no clue about my surroundings in a place I had never been before. Being in a forest all alone with nothing but a barely sharp pocket knife is a bad place to be but I had no choice in the matter, I was lost. I knew the first thing I had to do would be to build some kind of a shelter, something to keep me out of the weather and safe from any animals wanting to eat me. Next, I would need to find a food source abundant enough to last until I could be found. So I set out to find a perfect spot. After walking for hours I came upon a stream that would be a perfect place to find a never ending food source. With it being spring, the fish would be starting to spawn, and with hibernation season ending, smaller game would be coming out to feed and drink from the stream. This would also be the ideal spot for me to build my shelter. The area of the streams location had a fairly wide open clearing, so it would be a good place to stay close to, and a good place to start a signal fire big enough to be seen easily seen from the air. I made a pretty basic shelter. I made a typical lean-to with branches I found lying around. I first found two tall trees kind of close together with branches about five to six feet from the ground. Next I took the branches I found lying on the ground and attached them to the trees. With the frame now in place, I began adding to the frame by laying other branches onto the support beams to make a back wall and putting leaves and grass on top to help keep rain out. After finishing the shelter I covered the inside with leaves and grass to make a soft place to lie down. With my housing all finished I decided it would now be a good time to find something to eat. I first tried the old Indian method of fishing with my hands; yes I tried to catch them with my hands and had no luck. So I decided to get a little more modern, I took sticks and weaved them together and made a fish trap. I placed the trap in the water between two big rocks so it would not float away. With my trap in place I began to build two fires. One fire to use as a signal fire, and the other to cook with. After several hours of gathering fire wood and getting them started I checked my trap and had 3 nice size bass. After cleaning the fish I put them over the fire to cook, and sat down to relax after a long first day. I would definitely sleep well tonight, or so I thought
Right next to my house was a forest, but it was not just any forest this forest was said to be enchanted. The rumour goes that whoever enters the forest loses their voice. I did not believe the rumours and out of curiosity went to the forest inorder to check it's validity. At first all was well but as I went deeper into the forest I found it harder and harder to talk, until I could not talk at all. I was horrified. I looked around and to my utter despair I was completely lost. I had my phone with me but there were no signals. Worst of all I could not scream for help. I have to get out of here I thought to myself. I kept walking marking different trees to help guide me. In the end I was somehow able to find my way back home. Once I left the forest I could speak again. This whole adventure thought me that the saying curiosity killed the cat was indeed true and that my safety should always come before my curiosity.
