Climb the Trees and Scout

You climb up on the trees. You look outwards and you see nothing but a vast expanse of green canopy, and then in the far off distance you see a little stretch of sand and the turquoise of the sea.

You have a brilliant idea. When you, Zoe and Joe were on other adventures, you used to have a signal. Frantically, you search through your bag. You find your red little whistle. You clasp it tightly in your hand. The signal always meant: “Head for the coast.”

Your foot bumps against something hairy. You nearly screech, only to realize the hairy thing is a harmless coconut.
You split it open with your army knife; While you are eating the white flesh and drinking the refreshing milk, you think of your options.

What are you going to do?

Decide:

Steal the pirate ship with your companions

Head for the coast and hide along the outskirts of the island, where things are safer

Row to the pirate ship, bribe the pirates on the ship, and steal it on your own
