原文:

Dear Mom and Dad,
This is my fifth day at summer camp. Life in the great outdoors isn't exactly what I expected, but I'm not starving . . . yet . . . so don't worry about me.
 
I guess I should tell you about what I do every day. First, everyone has to get up at 5:30 A.M. They have this silly old rooster named Harry 1 who loves to wake us up. Next, we have to make our beds and tidy up the cabin 2 before our camp counselor 3, Jeff, comes to inspect the place.
 
Then, we have breakfast around 6:30 A.M. After that, we have some free time, so I've been going down to the nearby stream to fish for a couple of hours. But yesterday, the only thing I caught was an old shoe and a tree branch. Great catch, Huh? Then when I was trying to swat a mosquito buzzing 4 around my head, I slipped and fell in the stream and lost my fishing pole. That ended my fishing career.
 
Well, in the afternoon, there are different activities we can choose from like archery, horseback riding, and hiking. I thought archery would be the sport for me until I shot an arrow through Jeff's pant 5 leg. As you can imagine, I haven't been invited back since.
 
In the evening, everyone is assigned 6 a different chore to get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was in charge of cooking the hotdogs, but I accidentally 7 dropped them in the fire, so we had to settle for beans instead. The other kids are always razzing me about it.
 
At night, we sit around a campfire in front of the cabin, sing songs, and tell ghost stories. That's usually fun, but one night while trying to find more sticks for the fire, I got all turned around and got lost. After about an hour of wandering aimlessly in the forest, I finally found my way back, but no one seemed to have realized what had happened, thinking that I just had gone to bed. A bear or wolf could have eaten me and no one would have known it. I was so beat I just crashed . . . out like a light.
 
Well, today is another day and tomorrow I go home . . . and not a bit too soon. I've learned 8 that camping is just not for me.
 
Love,
 
Brad
