Moment in time

In the holidays Adam and his friends went to the forest to go play Hide and Seek.  They wanted Adam to be in because he is the one that came up with the idea of going to the forest and play a game.  Adam shouted out “NO I AM NOT GOING TO BE IN LET ELMO BE IN!!” but then Elmo said angrily “NO Coby should be in he is the smart one so he will be able to find us quickly” “No WAY HOSAY I am not being in let Jerry be in”  said Coby “I never got to be a hider so let’s have Adam in” Adam felt as angry as a Lion trying to catch a Geezle but the Geezle keeps running away, be Adam didn’t want to tell his friends because they would be upset.

So Alex said “Ok then before I count you guys turn around” then Alex started to run as fast as lightning but then “OUCH!” Adam had seem to hit a Tiger that is as big as an Elephant so he shouted “A TIGER!”his friends heard him so they ran to him as fast as a cheater trying to catch his prey, when they got there Elmo, Jerry and Coby all said “WOW”, they picked Adam up and they all started to pet the Tiger Elmo said “This Tiger is as soft as a big pile of soft toys” but then “Wait, if we touch something doesn’t that mean that we can’t take our hand of it because it feels so soft” but it was too late they couldn't stop touching it so they had to stay there the whole night.

“OH NO!” said Alex “I LOST MY PHONE!” “ME TOO” said Jerry “AND ME TOO” but the only person that has his phone is Elmo they all shouted out “ELMO!” “what” said Elmo they all said “YOUR PHONE!” so he checked his phone so  they all had nothing except let the tiger eat them so they put them in the tiger's mouth.
