Today I went exploring into the woods. Mama has tried to warn me about doing this by myself. I know I should listen, but I can be a bit stubborn at times. As I was playing with this really cool branch that was hanging low to the ground, I lost all time and let my guard down. It was the sound at first that startled me and then when I actually turned to see where the sound was coming from I was certain that I was going to be in big trouble! There before my eyes was this long squirmy thing like I have never seen before. It was tan with diamond shapes all over it. It's mouth was open wide and it had 2 of the biggest teeth I have ever seen. I didn't know what to do. I was too scared to move. But I knew I had to get out of there fast! I slowly flattened myself to the ground and as slowly and quietly as I could, without taking my eyes off of this thing, I backed away. Whew!! It finally just relaxed it's mouth and laid it's head back down and curled up. I can't wait to tell mama!
