Kensuke's kingdom |
Michael and his dog Stella fall overboard from his parents' yacht as it crosses the Pacific. It is dark and he is soon out of earshot. He comes round on the shore of a small forested island, with Stella beside him. He can hear gibbons howling in the trees, and reasons that there must be food and fresh water, but can find neither. He curls up on the floor of a cave, certain he is going to die. When he awakes he finds that food and water have been left for them. He clearly has a human companion who will help him to stay alive, but who otherwise seems unfriendly, perhaps mad. |
