CHAPTER 2# a view on Charlotte's life, and more.

    Deep into the jungle, lives a 3 year old White Bengal Tiger, named Charlotte,
    Charlotte is a solitary animal, and she loves going for swims in the pond. She would never hurt a human, unless she had to. She is a great hunter, and tree climber, too. She is hungry often, and her main diet is parrots, small rodents, and if shes lucky, maybe a Chital (a type of deer that lives in India), and if she's REALLY lucky, maybe a buffalo, though she would have to travel a long way to find one.
    Charlotte roamed the jungle, in search of a "snack". Charlotte was just sneaking up on a Chital, the first one she'd seen all month, when she heard "GET IT! QUICK BEFORE IT GETS AWAY!" (It's Carl yelling to Jack to grab the dart guns). And before she could move-- BAM! She toppled over into a drowsy sleep.
    "Quick carry it over to the hood of the rover!" Carl called to Jack, and they struggled  to carry Charlotte to the hood. They slowly lowered her onto the hood, and Jack got the rope. They carefully tied her on snug, and drove back into town. The town's people  where astonished and slowly backed away from the LandRover. Carl and Jack came out of the store, with a large crate. They set the crate in the back of the rover, untied Charlotte, and carried her to the crate, and slowly lifted her in.
    "Well, we might as well get a move on. I don't want to miss the plane. We should try to get there early so we have time to sign the paperwork, and help load the crate onto the plane". Said Carl. They got into the LandRover, and drove away, saying farewell to the town's people. About 10 minutes later, they where at the airport. Carl went into the airport building, to talk with the pilot, while Jack stayed in the Rover to watch the crate.
    "Well, your just in time. I'll have you sign these papers, and then I'll help ya load your tiger into the plane." The pilot said to Carl. Carl quickly signed all the paperwork, and they walked back to the LandRover.  Jack got out, and all three of them carefully carried the crate (with Charlotte in it!) to the plane. They put the crate in the luggage carrier below the passenger area in the plane. In no time, they where taking off.

CHAPTER #1

Date: Sunday, May 22nd 8:09 AM, 1987, India.
 Two American zoo-keepers are visiting India,
    "Put the canteens in the canvas I put over there, hurry!" Carl said, while finishing his breakfast of chicken and rice from the other night.
    "Okay, and where did you say you put the rice cakes?" Jack said.
    "The cabinet on the left of the cupboard". Carl said. Jack got the rice cakes out of the cabinet, and put them in the canvas bag. Carl put his bowl in the sink, and they ran out the door to their LandRover, their dart guns where already in the back seat. Carl and Jack got in, and drove off towards the jungle.
    "Carl?" Jack said.
    "Yeah?" Carl responded.
    "What are we gonna do with it once we shoot it?" Jack asked Carl.
    "We should be able to tie it onto the hood. I brought plenty of rope" Carl answered.
Nobody said another word until they got to the jungle. As they slowly drove through the trees, the sweet smells of flowers wafted into the rover. Carl looked through the trees, and into the sky. There where some very dark clouds coming over the horizon!
    "Hey Jack, you packed the camping gear, right?" Carl asked Jack.
    "Um..... oops?" Jack said guiltily.
    "WHAT?!?! You mean you didn't pack the camping gear?!?!" Carl said in rage.
    "No.... I'M REALLY SORRY! I forgot" Jack said
    "It's okay, but we may have to build a shelter." Said Carl.
THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY. SORRY IF IT WAS SHORT, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO PUT A LITTLE CLIFF HANGER IN THERE ;)
