Nat, Eli, and Luke had just moved to the far north of Australia. The countryside surprised them; the Colours had a richness they’d never seen before—the rocks, the sky, the terrain—all so different. One sunny day, the boys decided to explore. They packed a bag with a few supplies, jumped on their bikes, and pedalled towards the big blue lagoon surrounded by massive rocks. Along the way, they collected twigs, smooth stones, shiny quartz that sparkled in the sun, and some brightly coloured feathers. When they reached the rocky outcrop, they found a nice grassy spot under the trees and thought it was a prime spot to set up their tent. They’d heard from the ranger that they could light a small fire using sticks they’d picked up along the way. As Nat was the oldest, he carefully lit the fire and kept an eye on everyone’s safety. The marshmallows were toasting nicely when they looked up into the trees and spotted a little green tree snake peering down. “Hello!! What’s your name?” the boys called out in a friendly way. "Hello”, answered back a tiny voice, “My name is Elijah.” Eli found it funny since their names sounded similar. The boys paused for a moment and asked, “Elijah—would you like some marshmallows? We’ve got plenty to share.” Elijah slid down from the tree and came over to join the boys, asking, “Can my friend Lionel join us? He’s just over there, sitting on that rock.” The boys thought that sounded like fun. When Lionel arrived, they saw he was a frilled-neck lizard. Luke thought that was pretty cool, as both he and Eli now had new friends sharing the first letter of their names. The group sat around the small fire, toasting marshmallows and swapping stories of the bush until the sun started moving overhead. In the distance, they heard a howl, which gave the boys a bit of a start! Elijah said, “Don’t worry, that’s just Ned Dingo, He too loves marshmallows; he might want one later.” Ned keeps an eye on us, like a big brother. As the afternoon cooled, the boys decided to dip their fishing rods into the lagoon nearby. They didn’t have any worms, but thought they’d try their luck with some marshmallows. Well, it actually worked! Not only did the marshmallows help the boys make new friends, but they also caught some fish for a tasty dinner
