Story in a box - first draft

Today, January 11, is my first time to take writing class in this semester. During the class, our professor shown us a medium size of carton, and told us to write a story about the materials in the box. I looked at the box and imagined what kind of things will be in this box. When I walked in front of class, I found that there are twelve materials on the desk. I asked my classmates for the name of some materials, and the totally materials name are leather wallet, ruler, blanket, stamp, canoe, jar, plate, wooden head, African statue, chestnut, module house, and drumming guy statue. Then, I made a topic of my story- a North African people and his journey.

As I think, everything has a story, even though a piece of wood. There are many things that could remind us in our deep memorize, and help us to think about it. For many people, travelling would be a great chance to get a variety of knowledge from different places. We have many ways to go to the places we want to in nowadays, but how about the people in the past times.

It was really a long time ago, maybe people could not remember when it happened, but there was a North African people would like to see the new things, which are out of his hometown. He was too poor to afford all charges on his journey, but it would not change his mind. He just took his old blanket, and started his journey. He walked and walked, passed plenty of mountains, and made canoe to pass many rivers. When he felt tired, he would find a room to live; when he felt thirsty, he would drink the water from the river; when he felt hungry, he would like to find some chestnut to eat. The time passed very quickly, he already visited many places, and meet a lot of different kind of people. During the journey, he stayed with a drumming person for a long time. With  guy’s help, that north African people have the chance to saw plenty of things which he did known before, such as  leather wallet, ruler, stamp, jar, and wooden head. After he went back home, he started to write about this journey and named it as Me and the Whole World.

During this journey, that African people did not only known the material from different places, but also known a plenty of culture things from different countries.
