BUGS!

I crawled through the grass, and sucked water out of a dewdrop. I scrunched myself into a hard ball. A weird something tickled my shell. I opened up, and was dropped on a centipede. I thought, "Climb a tree!" and scrambled up the nearest tree.

The centipede snaps and starts scuttling up the tree. I slide off the tree branch and splash into a dewdrop.SPLOOT! SPLASH! BOINK! I try to get off, but I slip off just as the centipede splashes into the dewdrop. " Fool!" I shout. "You'll be preserved alive in that dewdrop! Then I crawl away from the frustrated bug, and dig deep into the soil with my worm buddies. I see my mom down there. She shouts, "Did you find any food? I said all I found was a hungry predator. We scrambled out of the ground and hurried under a rock. I said there was plenty of food there. After eating, I transformed into a worm and slithered down into the soil. Then I formed back into a pillbug. Wow! Ants! Gobble! Crunch! Smack! Well, I went exploring and saw tons of stuff, including Hoo-Mins! Some tried to catch me, but I burrowed underground if they tried.Crackle! Yikes! A centipede! NYEEEOW! I shot up a tree. I slip down the other side of the tree. I crawled up next to one of those little no-end puddles.Crunch! Crackle! AAAAHHH!!! A Hoo-Min!
I scrambled away to a rock. Once under it, I stayed there. Suddenly, the rock burst into motion! I burrowed deep into the ground.

Sharks

I am a blacktip shark, swimming after a bluespotted ray, which is not very fast. It is too busy guzzling a bunch of snails on the reef. I gulp it down. Then I head for a lyretail coral trout. It takes off for a slow-moving devil scorpionfish. While it’s busy stalking the fish, I sneak up behind and CRUNCH! It’s gone. Feeling full after two meals, I swim toward a cave really fast and dart inside. I know I would’ve attracted bigger sharks to the spot I made the loud crunch from eating that trout. But I needed a short-tail electric ray for defense. Once I saw a shark chomp down on an electric ray and it became electric. It turned out that the crunch attracted a whitemouth moray eel, my favorite food. It loved to eat banded coral shrimp, so it started munching shrimp and anything else that was or seemed edible. I darted out, snapped it up, and zoomed away across the reef.

Then I dug in the coral to see if a lizardfish was hiding from me or waiting for prey to pass by. Instead, I uncovered a longsnout flathead hiding in the sand. MUNCH! CRUNCH! CHOMP! SMACK! I gobbled it up like crazy. Trying to catch an achilles tang, I trapped it in between a cave and a hungry fish. Deciding it was too small for me to eat, I left it to face a blackfin barracuda. I tried to find a brittle star, but I ate all of them.

The crabs were all hiding from me. I uncovered one crab trying to hide under a great white shark. "Ha!" I said. ROAR! The big shark crunched up the crab. Blechhhh! He spit it out. Now I was free to eat it! After eating the crab, a football trout ate the eel I was stalking. I was so mad, I darted out from my hiding spot and ate the thief. I went back to my hiding spot among the sponges. Moorish Idol, and great white sharks loved sponges for dessert. I had to be careful, because my spying spot had some urchins near it. There was a danger about those urchins: GWS's, and humphhead wrasse liked them. A type of edible butterflyfish and bluelined snapper liked them
too, but that was what I was hoping for. A marbled grouper swam past, pursuing a lined cardinalfish. I gobbled the grouper, then the cardinalfish. I flicked my tail and swam away. The plankton swam by, and hid in the coral. Lined cardinalfish, palette surgeonfish, and silver sprat liked plankton. PS was what I liked to eat.

The Jungle

One day, I found a secret passage in my playroom. I crawled through it. And I found myself in a jungle! I had a terrarium for a snake or lizard. The type of snake I was looking for was a coral snake. The type of lizard was an iguana. I caught a mangrove snake by the tail just as it almost quickly slithered away. It wasn’t the snake I was looking for, but I was happy with it. Night soon fell.

I swam to Madagascar overnight. I got there while it was still night. Strange noises covered the sky. Screeches and twitters of lemurs and birds rang out. They sounded like warnings. Suddenly, I heard a quick rustling in the bushes. A tapir burst out of the bushes. STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! SHH! SHH! It ran over me and disappeared into the tall grass. The air was quiet once again. A ring-tailed lemur jumped out of a tree and onto my shoulder. Spotting the snake, he screeched and disappeared into a tree.

I can transform into a snake. I quickly transformed into a snake. I slithered along the forest floor, looking for something to eat. My sensing organs sensed something moving rapidly toward me. I zoomed up a tree and into the branches. Then a tapir came to the very spot I had been in. GRUNT! It snorted and moved on. I guessed it had looked at me as a potential food source. Anyway, I slithered higher into the branches, thinking there might be some sort of edible squirrel higher up. How I guessed that was, by watching the tapir silently, I heard a rustle up in the exact tree I was in. Squeaks could be heard upwards and a cracking of nuts rang out. As I climbed higher, my senses told me that they felt the body heat of an animal. I stalked a sugarglider and successfully gained it as a meal.

After the meal, I slithered down to the ground and set off in search of a suitable home. I came across some undiscovered species of snake along the way, but I ended up at an old log that might have been a good house if it didn't have a family of restless woodpeckers in it. The real house was an uninhabited treehole. There was plenty of food in the bark. I just hoped it wasn't a popular pecking spot for woodpeckers. I was hungry, so I ate a few bugs from the "larder". They weren't the best food I could get, but I couldn't go to Subway or anything, right?
