M6: Safari In Botswana

     Such a horrible day in New York. I just got off tour and it's raining like crazy. I haven't been able to get out of my hotel room because of screaming fans. My hotel room is on the last floor and it's more than 2,500 feet above the ground. Despite all of the yelling it's freezing inside my room, until I get a hologram message from Signor Volpe. Luckily the screen heated up when it was on, so it was starting to become nice and toasty in my room. It appears that signor Volpe has assigned me a country inside of the African continent. Guess what my country is. Botswana. He even gave me a ticket to go into a safari. I put on a good disguise and jumped out the window. I ran from on top of roofs for about 5 hours before I got to my real home. I ran straight to the portal and arrived in Botswana.
     WOW!! It's so sunny and bright here. It's some much better than New York. The only sound you can here is the sound of birds and lions. I have to be careful though, because I don't want to get bit by a venomous snake or spider.
"Welcome sir to our beautiful safari. " yelled out a man.
"Thank you my kind sir." I yelled back. I'm actually kind of scared about all this. If I die, no one would be able to take all of my riches. I am especially scared of hippos. One of my friends got eaten by a hippo in a zoo. I think of hippos as sharks. I think of sharks as fish. My mind is different from others so I could do smart things and stupid things. I just really don't want to go to a safari right now.
     There is no way I'm going to a safari with hippos. Wait a minute. I have an idea. I will go on a safari. I just need to get some things first. I grabbed some barbed wire and pieces of a turned on electric fence. I started to walk after I finished wrapping myself up.
"OOWWW!!!!" I yelled out. I got shocked really bad. It felt like it was about 2000 watts flowing through my body. It was much worse than getting shocked by lightning when I was 2. It inflicted so much pain on me.
     That's it I can't take this any more. I have to man up. I ran straight to the jeep and the safari trip has started. The driver took me to the Okavango River Delta. There river flows into Botswana from Namibia. There was so much water. Plants and parts of the land were inside the river. I pulled out a plant and it was so sodden. I saw a hippo. We drove by further into the Kalahari Desert. There was so little water there and a family of lions. Botswana is located in the southern hemisphere. The hottest month of the year is January, and since it's January, I feel like I'm frying. The safari is over. It took about 12 hours.
     Now that I was able to see a hippo and not be afraid, I wasn't scared of anything. I learned one thing from my experience. Animals are only scary when you harm them. I'm in a rented apartment in the city of Gaborone. Gaborone is the capitol city of Botswana. Luckily, I packed an air conditioner, I feel fresh. I kind of feel bad about it because some people have to live in cities with extreme temperatures. Any way, I'm about to go to sleep so I can get a new mission when I wake up.

  2. I thinks the electrified barbed wire would have been a great hippo deterrent.
