An unusual day at Grandma's house

“Isn’t this nice, just me and you having a nice girls talk with no one bothering us” Grandma said as she took a sip of her tea. Mum was also talking about their past and how they used to spend heaps of time together.

While these lovely ladies were relaxing and chatting over a cup of tea, Max stared into a book and started to read loudly.  “Shhh Max” moaned mum “can’t you see we’re busy”. “Sorry” he yelled from the lounge.

While Mum and Grandma were outside, Max quietly read from the lounge where nobody could hear him. So he had the whole space to himself. But not for long........

Later that day an unfortunate event happened. Max’s pet Snappy the Alligator had been let out of his cage. Quietly Snappy creeped outside, while everything was really quiet.  

AAAAGGGGHHHH! Mum and Grandma screamed. “What’s happening out there” said Max. “Wait a minute I know that scream” he thought to himself. “Snappy!” he yelled. As soon as he ran towards the patio, Snappy his pet Alligator was on the ground waiting for Mum and Grandma to get off the table so he could have a feast.

Max had to think of a plan. With only a small amount of time left before Snappy jumps on the table, Max thought of an idea. “I know what to do” he said to his scared mum and grandma. “Okay then hurry” they both said trying to stay calm.

Max hurried to the animal’s cage and right next to it was it’s food. “Here it is” he smiled to himself. Running to the alligator he yelled “here Snappy over here boy”. Snappy quickly scurried over to where his food was and munched happily. “Finally” Max said tiredly. That was really exhausting.
