**__ Running Scared  __** By: Sam and Jaelon In the middle of the night, a rat named Penny was running from a vicious Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake with its huge fangs ready to attack. She quickly climbed up the long vine attached to a school and squeezed through the cracked window trying to escape from the inevitable doom. Then she sat on a nearby pillow to catch her breathe and think of a place to hide. Penny was thinking about why the snake was chasing her. She figured out that she had accidentally fallen on one of the snake’s eggs and popped it. The snake was trying to kill her because she was trying to protect her babies. Penny thought, "What should I do? I can't get it away from me, and I can't trap it because I am too small. I have to figure out a plan on how to loose this angry reptile." Penny looks around the room searching for another animal. She is hoping that she can find some help. She notices another rat in a cage on the top of a file cabinet in a small classroom. She scurries over and climbs up the cabinet and says,” Help, help, there is a vicious snake after me.” The other rat, named Oreo, woke up dazed and confused wondering why this rat is in front of her cage. Oreo says,” What did you just say?” Penny replied,” There is a giant snake slithering through the window right now, and it wants to eat me!” Oreo picks up the food bowl and rams the door open and jumps quickly out to help her new friend. They heard the rattle of the snakes tail and hiss of its nasty fangs. The rats look suspiciously towards the cracked window and the snakes head popped out from around the corner of the cage. Instinctively Oreo and Penny jumped back inside the cage and pulled the door closed. But it wasn’t over yet; the snake slithered through the cracks of the cage creeping onto the cage floor. Oreo and Penny go to the top of the cage and bust out the door. Oreo is the last one out and slams the door shut with her mouth trapping the savage serpent. The next day the students entered the room and were astonished by the giant snake in the cage and wondered if Oreo had been eaten. They looked everywhere for their class pet until they heard a squeak from a little bag by the teachers desk. They looked inside the bag and found 2 rats instead of 1. The class kept the extra rat as their second class pet and called Bob’s Reptile Emporium to capture the snake and return it to the wild where it belongs.
