Stranded
Didi was stranded on an island. He had been unconscious. When he woke up, he was lying on a deserted quiet beach. He could only hear birds chirping and waves crashing on the shore.

One morning, he heard a deafening engine noise. He looked up and was elated to see a helicopter. He waved with some large leaves and jumped up and down to attract attention.
