the coconut that saved my life

I have been trapped for two days on a deserted island awaiting rescue. My friend Charlie and I were the only ones to survive the airplane crash. There is no food and the only water has the bitter taste of salt. If we do not find fresh water within the next day we will surly die. In order to find food or water we set out.   Marching through the congested forest full of vines, poisonous animals and trees. In the distance we spot a palm tree. Venturing closer to the palm tree we spot that it is full of fresh coconuts. We reach the bottom of the tree and I can almost taste the luscious coconut water. It torments me like a scratch you can’t itch. If I am not able to get that coconut water, surly I will go mad within the hour. Charlie climbs up the 50 foot coconut tree as I stand at the bottom waiting for mouth watering coconut. He struggles to reach the top but it did not matter we needed those coconuts now or never. Finally after waiting what felt like forever he reached the top. He breaks off one and throws it to the ground. Sprinting towards the fallen coconut like a wild animal I grab it with both hands. Nothing in the world would make me give it up not even a million dollars. Just as I was about to crack it open I hear something in the bushes behind me. Turning around I see a ferocious baboon. Growling at me he lunged to grab the coconut. however, I was not going to let him have my coconut. We fought for about 5 minutes before Charlie dropped a coconut which hit the baboon in the head knocking him out. Finally I was able to crack the coconut. With one swift hit against the rock it split in two. Charlie had finally reached the bottom. I handed him the other half of the coconut. Slowly I put my lips on the edge of the coconut and drank. My mouth filled with sugary goodness. After our long journey we finally had something to eat. We spent 3 more days on that island drinking nothing but coconut water. If it was not for that palm tree I would have never survived.
