Knuckles awoke the next morning and yawned. He was eager to get out of that hut. He quickly ran out of the hut and decided to take a walk out of the village. He stopped at a tree and leaned against it. He sighed and closed his eyes. He suddenly felt something wet pouring on him. He looked up and it was a monkey urinating on him. He yelled and ran back to village. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Knuckles yelled causing all of the villagers to come out of their huts and Sonic and Tails. Sonic, Tails, and Shadow ran up to him, so did all of the villagers.

"What's wrong?" Sonic asked sleepily.

"A monkey urinated on me!" Knuckles shouted. Sonic looked at Shadow and frowned.

"Do you have a monkey in this village?" Sonic asked. Shadow shook his head.

"No, but a monkey comes to our village sometimes, he's called Mo Mo," Shadow said with a smile.

"That's just great, now Knuckles smells like urine," Tails folded his arms.

"He can wash up in the river after breakfast," Shadow told them. Knuckles started wiping himself off with a huge green leaf.

"That's not cool Shadow, do you have any hot showers?" Tails asked him. Shadow shook his head.

"No, we wash up naturally in the Amazon," Shadow told them. Tails just nodded.

"So, what's for breakfast?" Sonic asked. Shadow grinned brightly. Sonic didn't like that grin.

"We're having bat feet, burnt bat wings, monkey salad, and banana juice," Shadow answered, as they all sat down. Shadow pushed some wooden bowels to them. Knuckles picked up the bat feet and bit it.

"This is...okay..." Knuckles said quietly.

"I knew you'd like it! I made it with hippopotamus urine," Shadow told him. Knuckles pit it out and started coughing. Tails stared at the bowel he was given. It was some gooey red stuff in it.

"What's...this?" Tails asked.

"Monkey salad," Shadow replied.

"I'll just stick with the ginger root," Tails told him and Shadow nodded. Sonic picked up the burnt bat wings and bit it. It tasted like burnt dirty socks. Sonic spit it out and grabbed the banana juice. After that he spit that out.

"Yuck!" Sonic exclaimed.

"I knew you would love it," Shadow told him. Sonic didn't say anything.

"There's no such thing as banana juice where we come from. Do you even wash your hands?" Sonic asked.

"Nope, washing your hands isn't natural," Shadow stood up and sighed. "Come, I'll show you around the Amazon, but we always have to watch out from being eaten," Shadow told them. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles stood up. "This way my friends," Shadow lead them into the deep dangerous natural Amazon.

Sonic pushed a leaf away from his face for the hundreth time. He frowned. "Hey look!" Tails flew up to a banana tree and got a lot of bananas. He landed and smiled.

"Give me some of that," Sonic snatched a banana away from Tails and started eating it. Knuckles started eating some too. Shadow just smiled at them then suddenly he stood very still.

"Stop moving, do not speak," Shadow quietly told them. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles dropped their bananas and stood still.

"What, what's going on?" Knuckles asked.

"There's an Anaconda watching us..." Shadow whispered and slowly pointed at a tree. They looked and gasped. The Anaconda was watching them and it was HUGE.

"What do we do?" Tails asked.

"I don't know but I'm getting out of here!" Sonic exclaimed and started running.

"Sonic wait, it's dangerous to go out there alone!" Sonic heard Knuckles call, but he kept running.

Sonic kept running then suddenly he fell into a river. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He yelled and splashed into the river. "Help! I can't swim! Help me!" Sonic shouted and tried to keep his head up out of the water. Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow suddenly appeared on the other side of the river.

"Get out of there! There are piranahs in that river!" Shadow called. Sonic desprately tried to swim to land. Knuckles looked at Tails.

"What are piranah?" Knuckles asked. Tails sighed and started to explain while Sonic tried to get out of the river.

"Piranah belong to the subfamily Serrasalminae, which also includes closely related herbivorous fish including pacus...."

"Enough of that! Just tell me what they do!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"There exsists a lengend that piranah can and will skin and eat a human-being alive, and is said to have been started with American President Teddy Roosevelt's visit to Brazil, and a spectacle setup by Brazilian fishermen," Tails answered. Knuckles looked at Sonic.

"Sonic, you better get out of there!" Knuckles called.

"Well, you can help!" Sonic yelled with panic in his voice.

"I can see the piranah!" Shadow exclaimed and pointed behind Sonic. Sonic started crying.

"I don't wanna die!" He shouted in fear. Tails suddenly flew above him and grabbed his wrist.

"Come on, you big baby," Tails flew him to land and sat him down. Sonic collasped onto his side and smiled.

"Land..." He breathed.

"Sonic, you really need to take swimming lessons," Knuckles said.

"Yeah, whatever, now let's get back to the village, I'm done with exploring," Sonic stood up. Everyone looked at Shadow.

"Um..."

"Um, what?" Tails asked him.

"It appears that we have lost the village. I never went this far since I first got to the Amazon," Shadow admitted.

"What, so now we keep moving forward?" Sonic asked. Shadow nodded.

"I might be able to find the village from afar," Shadow answered and started walking. Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles followed.
