My students heard a story about a plane crash. They had to come up with questions about what happened to the two survivors. This is what Cho Jong Hyun wrote:
I’m a professional hunter. I have hunted wild animals for 20 years. When I went to Africa, suddenly the plane’s wing was struck by lightning. It fell to the mountain! Unfortunately, there were only two survivors – me and another young boy. We didn’t know what we should do. The boy felt hungry, so we had to go to the jungle to find food. Wow! There were many brutal people! They wanted to kill us, so I explained to them about the accident.
They understood what I was saying and gave us food – monkey brain soup and elephant nose. It was weird but very delicious. The little boy fell in love with the tribal chief’s daughter. We lived there for three years. They are very kind an brave people that hunt tigers, bears, and elephants. I learned a lot of things from them.

I am...
I am why people like spring
I wonder why people like spring.
I hear grass that opens out of the soil.
I see beautiful flowers.
I want to go to the picnic.
I am why people like spring.
I pretend to smell flowers that have a good scent.
I feel a moving butterfly.
I touch the clouds.
I worry about animals hurting me.
I cry because people hurt me.
I am why people like spring.
I understand that the season is changing.
I say I believe in the birds.
I dream of living in nature together.
I try to be a flower.
I hope to fly in the sky.
I am why people like spring.

I am why the world exists.
I wonder why the world exists.
I hear the sound made by raindrops.
I see the stars shining with the sun.
I am why the world exists.
I pretend to be a good student.
I feel smiles form my friends.
I touch the ocean full of flowers.
I worry that maybe I am the one who actually bothers my family.
I cry remembering my past.
I am why the world exists.
I understand that 1 + 1 = 2.
I say life is just a dream that is never ending.
I dream of places where I can rest without anger.
I try to make myself better than last year.
I hope that some day I will do something for other people.
I am why the world exists.
