By midday the sun was very strong. Jim was too tired to walk. There were no trees near the road, so he rested under a big rock. After drinking some water, he took off his shirt, lay down: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: ‘Times New Roman’; on the ground and fell asleep at once.

He was so tired that he did not wake up until the evening. He was just about to jump up when he felt something moving near his feet. He looked down and saw a long black snake.

Jim was so frightened that he did not dare to move. The snake began to crawl across his legs, It crawled on and on until it disappeared under the rocks. Jim jumped to his feet, picked up his shirt and ran off down the road.
