My point of view as a Mud Skipper

          It was a nice hot and a very sunny day, I was skipping around enjoying some family time. Now you see I have a very big family, I have a wife and 4 children and children tend to get hungry very quickly and on a hot and sunny day like that they were really very hungry.So being the father It is my responsibility to find them some food. My family and I live deep inside the humongous mangrove forest of Kuala Selangor. So the really delicious are far away by the mangrove planting areas. Those are the the very dangerous areas where big giants stomp their feet around and help save the environment by planting mangrove plants. So we always have to be careful and make sure none of them stomp on us! But the giants do not come often. But when they do come it is very funny because they always get stuck in mud or fall down. Sometimes their boots even get stuck in the mud and when they pull out their legs only some thing with 5 other little things come sticking out of it. But sometimes those things that come out from their boot like to squish us so we have to be very careful. So basically I did what I do each day that is to go out and get some food for my family and I to eat. The skip from my house to the mangrove planting area is a very long skip. Which means I have to work very very hard. 

          As I was on my way to the mangrove planting area when I stopped for a rest and started hearing strange voices. Then I realized that is was not my language it was the giants language. I heard some shrieks and screams. As I got closer to the area there were more and more giants coming. they wouldn't stop. I was very close now and I really wanted to know a little more about these giants. Then a few of my friends wanted to join me because they have never ever seen giants before I told them that you have to be very careful when you see these giants because they will use that thing that comes out from their boot and squish you. One of my friends was very very curios, in fact he was actually curios enough the go skip along till he was in front of one giant. Now this giant wasn't as big as the other giants in fact it was the smallest giant there. That giant saw my friend and started to talk to it, I thought that that giant was actually very friendly. Maybe giants aren't that bad.

          After some time, I decided to take a risk and cross to the other side I was almost there, when a big black boot stepped right in front of me. And I heard a scream come from the boot. The giant wearing the boot was pointing at me. I turned around and started skipping very quickly to the right. Then another boot stopped me. I panicked and started running in circles. My ears were bursting. Screams were coming from everywhere. Finally I had the guts to stop and look up, and there I saw was a bunch of king faces of giants. But these giants were actually friendly like the other small giant I saw earlier they didn't try to squish or destroy me. I just looked up at them speechless. There were about 43 of them! These giants were all covered in mud and they smelled really bad but then again didn't I. But they weren't that small, except for maybe three or four of them. I was thinking what I should do next but then my thinking got interrupted by my friend telling me that these giants were a class from a school named ISKL which were planting young mangrove plants to help the environment. Now I was beginning to understand everything clearly. While the giants were staring and pointing at me, I peacefully and carefully skipped out of the area and on the way got some food and went home. When I reached home I told my family about my big exiting adventure today and about the big group of giants, and they were all speechless. After a while, my children started cheering for me and I felt extremely proud.

This is what a mud-skipper looks like

That is me!!!!!
