Seth went to camp on the big hill. He took his best pal, a dog named Gus. It was late at night. Seth set up a big green tent. He shut the flap up tight. Gus got on a plush mat to rest.
Then, Seth heard a quick snap out by the tent. He had a slight fright. What might it be? Was it a big red fox? Was it a bad man? Gus let out a huff. Seth held his dog. "I hope we do not have to fight," Seth whispered.
Seth got a bright light from his bag. He let the tent flap open just a bit. He held the light up high.
