Julian was taking a walk in the woods with his dog, Spike. Spike suddenly stopped and started to bark at something. Julian prepared himself in case it was a wild animal nearby but when he caught up with his dog, he saw something unexpected.
It was a huge plant. Julian was about to take a closer look at it when a forest ranger suddenly ran towards them. “Watch out! Stay back!” he shouted. Julian froze in his tracks. What was this giant plant and why was the ranger so scared of it?
An ordinary day
Julian woke up to an ordinary day. He got up from bed, got ready, and headed downstairs. He expected to be greeted by Spike who usually would wait for him by the door every morning, waiting to be let out.
But that morning, Spike was nowhere to be found. That was strange. Julian walked around the house calling for Spike and started to worry. Where could his dog be? This was so unlike him.
