=The Island=

We reached South Trinidad Island two days later and moored four miles away from the island. Birdie agreed that I hadn’t exaggerated its sinister appearance.
As the night fell, the seawater was touched with silver by the bright moon light. The white surf was coming continuously. There were a lot of sandy beaches on the island, and as our backsides were sore from sitting on the hard planks of the boat. There were dead sea crabs lying around on the beach, but we didn’t thing about eating them. Everything seemed dead on the island, except us. Birdie suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so he went to the forest of dead trees to have a break. But after a few seconds he howled painfully as he sat on some volcanic rock twisted into jagged shapes. We walked through the forest to find that the sharp volcano rocks had changed into coal black rocks. We looked up at the end of the forest to find behind a veil of mist, an enormous volcano sat grandly. Despite its sinister appearance, it rather looked like a dark fairy castle. The rosy dawn in the morning pouring over the mountain peak of the volcano added a dramatic effect to the whole scene. Then, Birdie remembered he hadn’t finished with the toilet thing yet.

The Original Story
We reached South Trinidad island two days later and moored the boat four miles from land. Birdie agreed that I hadnt exaggerated the island's sinister appearance. Then night fell and moonlight transformed it into a fairy castle towers, turrets and battlements touched with silver. At half past five in the morning when we sailed closer, the reality of the island was more dramatic. The mountains of volcanic rock twisted into jagged shapes rose steeply from the white surf, though the day was clear without a cloud. There was a veil of mist through which the mountain peak thrust upwards to meet the rosy dawn. A forest of dead trees covered the island, interspersed with ferns. The few sandy beaches separated by cliffs of coal black rock were covered in wreckage and alive with seacrabs.
