"Shalo" by Quinlan

Shalo
By Quinlan

I said goodbye to my parents while they had a meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. I put on my swimsuit and went for a little swim because I was bored. I swam with sea turtles. I got my towel and watched the dolphins jump in the mid afternoon. Once I was dry I went inside to watch some T.V. and cool down. Just than my parents called and said people where coming to kidnap me! I started sweating and getting hot. They burst in the house and stuffed me in a bag and put me in there car. We drove a little bit then I remembered I had some scissors in my back pocket and I sniped myself out of the bag and crawled out I told my parents when they got home from Honolulu, Hawaii. After I finished telling them the story they said that we had to go to the Artic to help save the polar bears from extinction. We went through the long lines and finally got our plane. My parents said that we would be there for two months. We went onto the runway and took off. I was either sleeping or watching movies. I finally decided I would stay awake the rest of the time but then I saw we were heading for a hockey rink and this is what I felt embarrassed about. “That is where they have to land because they can’t afford airports”
“Oh thanks for telling me that dad” I said. We got off our plane and do you know what the first thing I did was? I slipped on the ice and slid into the net and broke my leg. We went to the hospital to get my crutches and left. We finally got to the condo. I listened to my solar powered radio because they did not have electricity. I also read books for entertainment. I went to bed because it was something like 10; 00at night but I was not sure because no clock. I woke up the next morning by a light snowfall outside. I went outside and found my parents with a baby polar bear. “Can I name him?”
“Sure” my mom said.
“Okay, I will name him… Shallow! But spell it Shalo. I took him inside to get some milk to drink. The next day I did the same thing and spent most of my time on him. I played and fed Shalo. A month past I still had a month to be with Shalo. I went outside to play with Shalo and the whole time I saw a different polar bear creeping up on us until he dove for me and Shalo. I dove out of the way but what about Shalo. I swung myself around just to see Shalo to get beat to the ground. I took Shalo to the vet to get him better from the attack. The doctor was finally ready for me I went back into a room to see what was wrong. “ He is in god’s hands now doc said my parents showed up as they where panicked because they did not know where I was but we lived in a small town so they found me pretty quick. Doc called us in and said he lived! But they wanted a small tip because they did not have much money. He went back to the room to get Shalo, he came out chasing his tail he came up and jumped into my arms. The next day Shalo and I went outside to play. He noticed another polar bear. He went over to meet the female it took me a while to take him inside. The last day my parents said they wanted to have an important conversation with me. “As you know we are leaving today and Shalo likes anther polar bear.”
