We went camping with our teacher at Pulau Bukom. As I was feding
bored, my friend and I decided to take a walk acrcss tfre
jungle
mL ft was
already seven in the evening. The wind was fresh but @1. tt nshed onb my
face, arms and body. I closed my eyes feeling cornpletefy rdaL Then I heard
my friend screamed,
"Don't
walk further! Stop!" I stop@. I had been ahead
of him. Then I looked down. A metre away was the black cobra all coiled up,
hissing, ready to attack. Cold shivers ran down my spine. I stand there, with
my legs rooted into the ground. I could have made an attempt to run, but
my mind is compietely blank. My friend came and dragged me away. Then I
came to my senses and start running. We ran until we were away from the
jungle.
Soon, we reached ours camp. We were breathing heavily. I was so
relieve I had been saved from a fatal bite. I surely would have died. I thanked
my friend for his tremendous help" He had saved my life. Our teacher advised
us not to wander away again.
