An Adventure in Africa

It was late last night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so clam. What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the son came up, he felt his mother’s hand on his head. “Morning, Kevin!” she said, “time to wake up and go on the safari.” Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up(限制) in a zoo.

“What if we get close to a lion?” Kevin asked.

“Oh, daring,” she said “nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide.”

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the bird singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind –looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off a dirt road. After a little while Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. “Shhh,” he said in a low voice. “It’s nothing dangerous but don’t speak loudly.” Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots(斑點(diǎn)) and a very ,very long neck–a giraffe.

“Wow,” said Kevin, He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.
