Interesting Tracks

“Where do these tracks lead?”, Bob yelled over the crazy wind. The wind felt like he was standing centimetres away from a fan at full blast.

Bob is a curious boy, but he’s spotted some dangerous looking tracks.

“Should I follow these tracks, or no?”, Bob wondered. But a a tune was playing in his mind, over and over again. It was just tugging him, like an invisible string.

As soon as he decided to follow the tracks, he regretted his decision. His feet were almost rooted to the route he was following. The big, heavy footsteps led him into … A HUGE FOREST!

Bob instantly wanted to know what type of footsteps they were, but he just couldn’t recognise them. Then it hit him – a death adder! The deadly ‘hissssss’ was attracting him. When he saw the red, hypnotising eyes, he just couldn’t look away.

Until, something … but what?… blocked his way. His gaze was broken.

He ran halfway home, until he was well away from the dangerous black adder. He walked the rest of the way home and had his lunch. Bob swore to himself that he would never forget the day he met an adder.
