My dream of an African safari finally came true last year, but it almost turned into a nightmare! It was our third night in Africa and my sister Jenny and I were getting ready for bed in our log cabin. It (be) an amazing day and we were completely exhausted but we couldn't stop talking about the incredible animals we (saw) that morning. Ten minutes later we had just put out the light when Jenny screamed.
Earlier that day, our guide (tell) us stories about dangerous African animals. One man (work) outside when a rhinoceros (begin) to run after him. And two girls spent the night in a tree after a crocodile had tried to eat them. The guide warned us to check under our beds before going to sleep. Of course we thought he (joke).
I (look) where Jenny (point) and then I saw it. A huge snake was lying under the table right next to the door. I was absolutely terrified. 'Quick! Get in the cupboard' I shouted. As we were running for safety, I grabbed my phone. After we (shut) the cupboard door, I (ring) our guide.
He quickly arrived to help. While he (shine) his torch under the table, Jenny and I
(realise) our mistake. It wasn't a snake after all, just some rolled up clothes. I
