Dear Abby,
I am an orphan on a island with only 8 kids keeping me company. Everyone is an orphan here, and the island must only contain 9 kids, or the sky might fall. (just like what the song says) Each year, a boat will come to pickup the oldest on the island, and it will also bring us another young orphan.
This year is my “brother’s” turn, it’s like this every year on this particular day. After he goes, I will become the elder on this island, and I will also need to take care of the new kid that just arrived. There are so many things that I need to teach her, so many rules to tell, so many places to show. The memories of my brother keeps on flooding back, all the lessons and adventures, all the things he did when he took care of the new orphan. What if I don’t know what to do? How can I take care of the new orphan? How will I face the outside world next year?
Sincerely,
Elder on the island

Dear Elder on this island,
I think you should ask the one like the person who carries the new kid and the one who carries the new kid, he/she has to be an adult so you can ask her/ him about the outside world. you can also ask about how to care about new kids and get experience from your brother! he’s not leaving now, you can ask and let him tell you stories and if there was any problem and how he solved it . If you miss your brother leaving he’s been out of this island, you can tell him to send you letters. He can tell you about the outside world so when it’s time for you to be going to the outside world, then you can know what you can do and won’t be scared to go out to the new world!
Sincerely, Abby
