In the Jungle

They trekked to another part of the jungle to find a Way out, Judy seemed out of breath As they clawed their way Through thick vegetation on that hot day Would they survive? For lunch they would share a tuna sandwich The sky was starting to turn gray They figured they were somewhere in the Amazon When the going gets tough, the tough get going There were tears and fears and doubts In their eyes you could see they were weak Surviving did matter- but time was running out and Rations were sparse Exhausted and running on empty They heard the thunder as the sky opened up ..... then they saw the village up ahead They would survive after all...miracles do happen 6-1-2012

So you changed to a different contest instead of the mish mash one? Just reading what Brittany said below here. I like how you end it with us having to guess about what you see.

I figured this was for the Mish-Mash contest. The challenge must have been fun! Cool palindrome and good job staying on topic <3

Is this part of a much longer story? I can imagine them in Brazil or some other country in south america. A relief to see that opening come into view!!
