They crept as quietly as they could, practically holding their breath.
They kept following the noise, hoping to see whatever it was, before it saw them. Sometimes they could hear the crash of the thing in the bushes, but some of the time it was very quiet.
“If we don’t find it soon, maybe we should just go home.” Grenda whispered. No I want tot find out what is making all this noise, but we could stop and have some thing to eat.” Zendar answered. “Ok let’s do that!” Grenda was all for letting the thing get further away, while the two friends stopped for a snack.
After they cleaned up, they looked for tracks again. They saw some big tracks up a small hill, so they decided to go that way. At the top of the hill, they decided to check things out, before going on. “We better look around from up here, maybe we’ll be able to see what the thing is without getting to close.” Grenda was trying to be sensible, and safe! They peered out and saw something at the bottom of the hill. It looked like a monster, with long tail and low fat legs. It had long yellow fur, and many heads.
“Oh my gosh what is that thing” the friends shouted together. Zenda wanted to get closer, while Grenda wasn’t so sure. “How ‘bout if we just go part way down the hill, and stay behind the grove of triffle bushes?” “Ok!” They started down the hill carefully.
Part way down they stepped on some loose, gravel and started slip sliding down the hill. They tumbled and slipped almost all the way down.
