A grey thing came out from behind the tree and came toward me. It was big but it wasn’t tall because it walked on four feet. It had no hands.
But the thing had teeth. Yes, it had a mouth full of yellow teeth. It had yellow eyes and grey hair all over its body.
Its mouth came toward my face. I closed my eyes and waited to die.
There was hot air on my face. I wanted to scream(尖叫) but I was too afraid. I couldn’t scream.
My mind exploded(爆炸). I suddenly hit the grey thing and it fell back against the tree. I hit it again, as hard as I could.
I wanted to destroy(消灭) the grey thing and I was screaming. Suddenly it was gone.
Then I saw another monster(怪物). This one was very small with grey fur all over its body. It was holding on to the tree but I pulled it off. I could destroy this one!
I pulled its short legs hard. The small monster bit(咬) me. Its teeth went right into my finger.
But my mind was exploding. I wanted to destroy it and I didn’t care about the pain(疼痛).
Then the big grey monster ran back through the trees, jumped at me and knocked me down. As I fell, I dropped the little monster and it got away.
My head was hit hard on a rock and everything went black.
