 ===One afternoon me and my friends were playing in the backyard. It was a regular hot, sunny, summer day. We all went down the zip line from the top of the hill to the bottom and crossed over the creek so we could play on the gigantic root. This root was at least seven feet tall and had roots sticking out all over it. It look like a big huge spider with lots of legs. We climbed up the root and took our places on the root and pretended like it was a pirate ship. Stewart who was the captain said, “Lets head up the creek.” All of a sudden the ground started to tremble and it felt like an earthquake. We were holding on for dear life. Then a root shot out of the top of the big root and acted as a mass for the pirate ship. Finally leaves blew off the trees to become the sail. The gigantic root detached from the ground and we set sail up the creek. As we followed along the creek we passed houses and saw all kinds of animals. It was such a fun adventure. We lost track of time and eventually turned around to head home. We went on an amazing adventure that day that we will never forget. A couple years later... I was in third grade at school and we were all out for recess. I was playing on the jungle gym and was swinging while the boys in the tree house were talking about something, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. Then I felt something slimy and cold in my hair. Stewart dropped an earthworm in my hair. I ran around screaming trying to get the worm out but the more I tried to get it out the more it grew bigger and bigger. The worm was wrapping around me like a snake slithering around my body. It squeeze me so tight that I felt like my insides were going to come out. I was terrified. The humongous worm wrapped around my neck choking me. I turned every color in the rainbow and pasted out. If it wasn't for someone killing the worm I would have died that day. Stewart and the other boys felt horrible because it was just suppose to be a joke. But to this day they still haven't figured out why the worm grew so big. ===
