First Meat
Brian was getting tired of fish. He was starting to feel sick from all the fish he had ate. He missed having chicken and then he saw birds. Brian called these birds fool birds.

Brian waited for the bird to be still and then he shot the arrow. He got the bird and then cooked it on the fire. Brian said that it was the best chicken he had ever tasted. -

Brian was just staring at him as the pilot was wowing at the fact that Brian was alive because they stopped searching for him months ago. Brian was shocked and then asked the pilot if he wanted to eat.
