What three things would YOU take with you to a deserted island?

So I had my most difficult class write a little essay about what three things they would take with them to a deserted island. A lot of my kids wrote that they would take, water, food and some sort of shelter. All relatively normal answers.

Only in Samoan would a kid give this answer.....

I would take water, why because if you work all day you will be thirsty. and the second one is food because your body need energy to work. the last thing it is litter, why? because if you need to cook food, you will NEED THE LITTER TO BURN TO MAKE A FIRE."

ONLY IN AMERICAN SAMOA!

Yes, people are burning their trash here all the time. Trash, leaves, grass. Dead people. Ha. just kidding. But who knows cause the smell is god awful.

  1. hey drew, i think the kid meant to say "lighter" and misspelled it. i remember how ridiculous some of those journal comments can be, though...
