They are the funniest people to be around.

It was a sunny day in South America. The warm breeze swept in and blew right into the two brothers’ faces. Their names were Joah and Noey. Joah had tiny muscles and could never lift anything up. Noah had giant muscles and could lift up anything. They could do anything they wanted because they didn’t have parents. Their parents died in a plane crash. They both had jobs to do every morning. They had to take the garbage out from the best shop in South America. They lived in a nice house with red shutters and a black roof. The boys were the best behaved boys in the neighborhood. They would do any job you told them to just for the money. The boys loved to visit the animals in the rain forest once a month. And today was the day they would visit it. They usually camped there for a couple days. They even when camping by them selves when they were five. They grew since then now they were 11 and counting. “ So when are we going Noey?” joah said to Noey. “I don’t know Joah,” said back the boys packed their stuff up and started walking. The rainforest was 5 miles by foot so they left at about 10 in the morning. They would plan to get there at 12 but they would be lucky if they made it on time. When it gets past 12 in South America it gets hot. When they were 3 miles down the path they heard something in the bushes. It was a little girl. The two brothers asked her if she would like to come with them. She said no because she was playing hide and go seek. So she left to go find her friends. The boys were just a mile away from the rainforest when a storm rolled in. the storm only lasted about 5 minutes so the boys just kept walking. The boys finally reached the rain forest at about 12:30. They set up camp under a big tree. Then they went off to find some animals. They found a whole bunch of birds flying above them. Some of the birds were the size of a little kid. They also saw jaguars but they didn’t get to close to them. It was about 6:00 when they were done sight seeing and went back to camp. There camp was set up perfect. They had to make their beds in trees so no animal would get them. When 10:00 came the boys decided to call it a day and fell asleep, when they woke up they didn’t hear a thing. They just thought the animals were sleeping but when they opened their eyes they didn’t see anything. All they saw were insects. After breakfast they began to search for some animals but they didn’t find anything. “I wonder how many are gone,” Noey said “I don’t know it looks like all of them,” said Joah “ Well let’s try to find some” Joah said “ Well okay, but I don’t think were are going to find any” said Noey So the two boys started looking. They went about 1 mile when they found a hint that whatever took the animals was a flying vehicle. The ground looked like a big crater. So the vehicle had to use suction to get the animals off the ground. “But how would he fit all those animals into his machine” thought Joah. The boys got tired of searching so they took a break. After their break they began to search again. They were kind of scared but they never got scared so that was weird. They knew something was going to happen and it did. 2 minuets after their break it got ally windy trees started falling and that’s when they saw it. it was a giant helicopter heading write towards them. and it was filled with lots of animals. t touch the ground and big doors slid open.
