Desert Island Survival 101, Tuesday Fourth Period
Today, the setup was much the same, except the plane was no longer on fire and there was a smallish pile of somewhat battered suitcases next to Petra, with another, smaller pile of things like airplane blankets, the plane's first aid kit and rescue axes, bottled water, and packets of airplane pretzels next to it. "So you've taken stock of your immediate situation, seen to your wounded, and started gathering your supplies," Petra said. "Great job, guys. Now what's your first concern?"
She waited a beat, then said, "Water. Your first concern is always water. You have enough for a day or two, but then you'll be out, and you can't do any of the other things you need to do if you're dehydrated. So, your options are: search the island for a source of fresh water, or try to create one. Option one, we're going to leave on the table, but first let's talk about option two. We're going to use..." Petra unzipped the suitcase nearest to her, rummaged around in it, and pulled out an ugly green beaded evening gown. "This!" No, she wasn't crazy. "But how are we going to use this to create a water source? If you guys can't figure it out, I'll tell you, but first, try brainstorming it out among yourselves. Remember, in a crisis you won't always have someone to tell you what you can do with what you've got to work with."
