Trail Story: A Wild Walk
251 Words Total Numbers at right = cumulative words
Today I went for a walk in the forest with my dad and our dog Mac. 16
We thought it would be a peaceful, easy hike. Boy, were we in for a surprise! 32
It started out as a nice, sunny day. Mac was romping along ahead of us 47
on the trail. He liked to stop and sniff things like bushes and logs. 61
“Mac’s nose is much more sensitive than a human’s,” said Dad. “He can smell 75
where other animals have been, even if they left the area a long time ago.” 90
“Wow! That’s cool,” I said. “Hey Mac, you have smelling superpowers!” 101
Unfortunately, Mac was not aware that some of the places he was poking 114
his nose could be dangerous. He stuck his snout right into a hole where 128
some yellow jackets had made their nest. Yellow jackets are stinging insects 140
similar to bees. “Yip!” Mac jumped back when a yellow jacket stung his nose. 154
“We’d better run! Get away from that nest,” cried Dad. The three of us sped 169
up the trail. When we reached the top of the hill, we were out of breath. 185
We stopped to rest. That’s when I felt a wet drop land on my hand. 200
Then another on my leg, on my neck, and in my eye. “Oh, no! 214
Now it’s starting to rain,” I said. There was a flash of lightning far 228
in the distance, then a boom of thunder. “Time to head home,” said Dad. 242
“We’ll have to go for a hike another day.” 251
