"TOO WET FOR COMFORT"
PART TWO

"OH, NO! THE TREE IS BREAKING UNDER BILL'S WEIGHT AND HE'S TOO FRIGHTENED TO MOVE! ! !" Alleah cried.

"Alleah, you stay here. I'll try to walk Bill to safety," I said as I started over to the log that Bill was trapped on. "Bill! Don't panic! I'm going to help you down!"

I quickly crawled up to the log that Bill was stranded on.

"Bill, don't move. I'm going to help you get down, " I said as I stepped on the log. I walked carefully to were he was standing.

"Fred! You saved me!" Bill exclaimed.

"We're not safe yet," I said, worried about the strength of the log.

We had gotten to the middle of the log. Just when every thing seemed to be going well, the log cracked right in front of us!

"FRED! ! ! We are going to fall!" Bill screamed." We're going to have to go back!"

"No! We can't! The log is cracked there, too!"

 

Suddenly, the tree broke in two places! The log and we started falling faster and faster!
