Geocache Description:

Continuing the Roald Dahl theme this is based on another story from the book 'The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar'.

 


This is the location of the first ever cache I found so thought it would be great to resurrect a cache here. There is a bench nearby so why not sit down and see if any animals turn up that you can chat to.

 

The Boy Who Talked with Animals

This is a first-person fiction piece of medium-length writing. The narrator, on advice from friends, decides to vacation in Jamaica for a time. One night, a large commotion breaks out on the beach-a sea turtle, ancient and huge, is caught by a group of fisherfolk. The beach patrons debate about what to do with the tortoise; rich people want to buy it, while the manager of a nearby hotel wants to use the meat to make turtle soup. The people's plans are foiled when a little boy and his parents appear; the child screams at the people, calling them "horrible and cruel." His parents reveal that the boy loves animals deeply, and even talks to them. His father pays off the fisherfolk and hotel manager, and the turtle is set free.

The next day, the boy is missing. Everyone is shocked when the fisherfolk return and reveal that they have found the child-riding on the back of the sea turtle, venturing into the unknown.
