Last summer my family went camping by a lake in the countryside． There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on． On the first night， we sat under the moon and told each other stories．

    The next morning， my sister and I got a terrible surprise．When we looked out of our tent， we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire． I was was so scared that I couldn't move． We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger． My dad started to jump up and down in their tent． This woke the snake up and it moved into the forest near the lake． My dad told me later that snakes don't have ears but can feel things moving He also told me it was important not to go near a snake． This was a very useful lesson for me．
