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?

The missing Blog
One day, Hari was enjoying a game of Odell Down Under, when a screen came on. It said, “Yum! Hairtailed Flutemouth Trumpet is one of your favorite foods!” Hari was a Great White Shark. He had eaten a cuttlefish, but he hadn’t seen any HFT’ s. Then the ransom screen came on. There was a 3D Donald Duck running away from the arrow, but he was lost in a maze of files. DD was labeled, “TARGET:HARI” and Hari told Orion on the phone, “I need help. Are you free?” Orion said he could come.
Then Hari deleted all the screens except the crazy DD screen, in which the arrow had started clicking on DD to change his color. Then Orion walked in and said, “Why is DD acting like that?” Hari asked if Orion brought his computer kit. Hari said that a blog of his was missing. “I did bring my computer kit,” said Orion. Hari explained that his blog about aliens was gone. “I guess I could fix that.” Orion said, “Did you leave your story unsaved?” Hari said he left it unsaved. Orion said that if he saved it, the computer wouldn’t erase it. “I’ll remember that!” said Hari. “Bye, Orion!”
THE END!!!!!!!
