Marvelous Muddy Mangrove Planting

         "Ah! I am tired", I mumbled to my friends. It was a 4km walk to where we were going to plant the mangrove saplings. The path we took was full of long tail macaques. They gave me the creeps! I thought they were going to attack me. My solution to this problem was to avoid them by walking straight looking only in front and not at them.

           Soon we arrived at the swamp where we were going to plant our mangrove saplings. The swamp was full of mud skippers and crabs. Next, we put on our huge black mud boots. Then two men showed us how to plant a mangrove sapling. The moment I stepped into the mud my feet sank in the mud and I could not move them at all. As a result I could not balance and was very unstable, hence landing  on my back right in the slushy mud. I was the first person to fall in the mud and I felt very wet and dirty. Every body was full of  mud making us all look like chocolate monsters.

After every body planted their sapling we headed back to the hostel. A grueling walk back later we reached our hostel and were hosed by Mr.Sheflin to take off most off the dirt.
