Chissy was very submissive with her parents. Her father was a corn farmer and her mother was a seller in the traditional market. Chissy went to the field every morning and helped her father. In the afternoon, Chessy helped her mother in the market. She was happy to helped her parents.

One day, her mother asked her to took some woods in the center of the jungle because the woods in their house has been used for cooking. Then, Chissy went to the jungle immediatelly. She looked for the woods which was fall from the big trees in the center of the jungle.
When Chissy was walking in the jungle, she felt something followed her, but no one stayed in the jungle. She continued her trip again. Sudennly, there was a voice behind her.

“haungggg...... Grrrrrr....”

Chissy wasn’t brave to looked for her back. She was so afraid. She ran very fast and she didn’t know if in the front of her there was a big hole and it was closed by many branches and leaves.

“Hi a little girl” the tiger’s voice was heard from the up hole.

“Who are you?” asked Chissy.

“Don’t be panic. I am a tiger who was trapped in this jungle. I am saving my self from the hunters who will catch me and kill me. They look for me everyday” answered the tiger.

“Then, what is this? I am trapped” asked Chissy again.

“This is a hole made by the hunters to trap me. They made a lot of hole here. But i still carefully” answered the tiger.

“Thank you tiger. You have helped me” said Chissy.

“No problem. Now, you must go away from this jungle because this jungle is very dangerous for you” asked the tiger.

“No. I won’t go! I will accompany you. I will save you from the hunters.”

Chissy didn’t want to go. She asked the tiger t took some stalks and it was used for built a small house in the jungle and then she could hide the tiger there.

“How can i hide if the hunters can enter into this house?” asked the tiger.

“I will write a sentence in front of the house, so they won’t be brave to enter this house. You must hide inside” answered Chissy.

Then Chiisy wrote “This is the haunter’s house who live in the other island. This house do not open and must be avoid because there are some weapon and blaster which can burst your face.”

“Tomorrow i will go there. Don’t go anywhere” said Chissy.

After that, Chissy went to her house and gave the woods to her mother. In the morning, Chissy brought some meat, a chicken and a big watermelon. She did it everyday. Chissy and the tiger  became a friendship.

In the following day, Chissy rarely went to the jungle because she helped her mother in the market and after she returned to her house,  she felt tired and then she slept early. In the other hand, the tiger waited Chissy in the center of the jungle. The tiger felt alone. The days after that, Chissy came into tle little house and looked for the tiger.

“Tiger...where are you? I’m so sorry because yesterday i must helped my mother in the market. I know you’re angry and hungry because i didn’t bring foods to you. But now, i bring you a lot of meat” said Chissy.

“Tiger... where are you? Are you joking me?”

No body responded for it. Chissy cried and cried. Suddenly, there was a man in front of her and said,

“Chissy, don’t cry” and Chissy was shocked and went out slowly.

“Who are you? I’m certain you’re a hunter which caught the tiger.”

“Don;t be panic Chissy”

“What? How do you know my name?” asked Chissy.

“I’m not a hunter. I’m a tiger who have saved by you” said the man.

“huuhh?? It impossible !” said Chissy.

“Do you remember about the last foods which you brought here?” asked the tiger.

“Yes. I brought some meats, a chicken and a big watermelon.” Answered Chissy.

“I wait too long for a watermelon because in the kingdom where i live, that fruit doesn’t there.”

“So, are you a prince?” said Chissy and she was shocked.

“Yes right. I went to this jungle and looked for a watermolon. I was cursed by my father because he forced me to marry with a princess from the other kingdom named Cleo. She was so arrogant and stingy. The day before it, i went out from the kingdom. The solders looked for me and they caught me to my father. My father was angry with me and he cursed me became a tiger. My father lose me to the jungle. On the way, i met a granma. The grandma said if i must eat a watermelon. The watermelon will change me like originally.” The man explained to Chissy.

Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 for Spain, and the French began expeditions to the New World in 1524. But the first English presence in North America is important because the thirteen English colonies that would later be established eventually became the country now known as the United States of America.

2.      In April of 1585 Sir Walter Raleigh, under the authority of Queen Elizabeth of England, sent an expedition of seven ships carrying 600 men, half of them soldiers, to found an English colony in North America. The colony was to be used to establish an English presence in the New World as well as a base from which English privateers, or pirates, could attack and plunder Spanish treasure fleets. Raleigh’s cousin, Sir Richard Grenville, led the expedition.

3.      In July of that year the bulk of the fleet reached a small island off the coast of Virginia that was called Roanoke. After building a small fort on the north side of the island, the colonists initiated relations with a Native American tribe that lived on the island, the Aquascogoc. These natives showed little interest in building relations with the English colonists, and they soon parted company. After this encounter, however, the English noticed that one of their silver cups had gone missing, and they attributed its disappearance to the Aquascogoc. Grenville, the English captain, was furious. He believed that the Aquascogoc had stolen the silver cup. Whether or not this was true, angry exchanges followed and soon the English burned the Aquascogoc village. The English held their fort against the subsequent attacks of the natives.

4.      Despite their success in battle, the colonists had a miserable time because they were mainly soldiers and adventurers, not farmers. They were hungry. They missed the comforts of England, such as soft feather beds and dainty foods. Also they had expected to find gold and silver on the island, and were disappointed when they found none. Grenville soon tired of these conditions and set out on his ship to plunder Spanish treasure fleets and return to England. The colony was gradually abandoned.

5.      In 1587 Sir Walter Raleigh dispatched a further expedition of three ships and 150 colonists, led by John White, to Roanoke. This time the expedition included women and children, including White’s pregnant daughter, Elenora. Shortly after they reached Roanoke, Elenora delivered a child whom they named Virginia. Virginia was the first English person born in America. But the English soon ran into more trouble with the Native Americans. A colonist named George Howe was killed by natives while searching for crabs alone on the beach. The colonists were scared. They persuaded White to sail back to England to ask Sir Walter Raleigh for help. White left behind 114 colonists, including his daughter Elenora and granddaughter Virginia.

It took White three years to get his relief expedition back to Roanoke. When he returned in August of 1590, White found no sign of his daughter, granddaughter, or anyone else. They found three letters, “CRO,” carved on a tree and the full word, “CROATOAN,” on a nearby post. Possibly this referred to the Croatoan Island, which was nearby. White searched long and anxiously, but failed to find them.
