Being Marooned [Thursday, June 10]

"Hello, mateys!" Jack greeted the class cheerfully from where he sat on a fruit crate. "Today we're going to talk of foragin' on your new island, otherwise known as 'How hungry will you be before you eat a durian?'"

He held up the fruit, which smelled like shit. No, really emitted a pungent aroma. He swung his hand around at the coconuts, crabs (which were trying to escape), mangos, and papayas.

And then at the crude spears he'd fashioned. "Or you can try to catch yourself a sea turtle," he said with a laugh, "but that's high level pirating there."

Re: Eat food!

Kurt already smelled faintly like the durians anyway. Or, at least, like burning sulfur, which was almost as bad.

And if people actually ate them, then they must therefore taste better than they smelled -- it only made sense. So he grabbed up one of the turtle-hunting spears and used it to pry open the fruit. "Pee-yooo! Stinky!!!"

It actually was pretty good.
