Bird： Snake， what a beautiful pattern on your skin！

Snake： Thank you！ But its not natural. It was an accident.

Bird： What？ An accident？ Tell me about it.

Snake： It was in a golden autumn. When we played hide-and-seek ...

Snake： Do you hide yourselves well？

Bear： Wait！ Wait！ I dont yet. This time youll never find me！

Frog： 1，2，3，start！

Snake： Got you！ Got you！

Bear： Shamed！ You found me again. Now its my turn. You hide and I catch！

Animals： Dont peek！

Bear： I dont need to cheat. Ill find you easily.

Snake： （Whisperd）Ill hide into my hole in the ground. Hell never find me.

Bear： Are you all ready？

Animals： Yes！

Bear： Where do they hide？ I cant find anyone！

Snake： Haha！ I guess even at night he still cannot find us.

Cat： Bad news！ Bad news！ The forest is on fire！ How can we do？

Hedgehog（刺猬）： Run！ Run faster！

Bear： But where is Snake？ We cant leave her behind.

Animals： Snake！ On fire！ Come out！ Snake！

Snake： Give me a break. Is that a trap？ Are they lying（撒謊） to me？

Snake： Oh my God！ Its really on fire. So big fire！ I cannot go out！ But， my friends are all out. Who can save them？ I cannot see them die. Ill let them in！

（Snake went out of the hole， and she shouted.）

Snake： Come here！ Safe place！ Come here！

（All the animals got into her hole.）

Dog： The hole is too small. We are so crowded that Snake cannot get in.

Snake： Dont worry！ I am OK.

Snake pushed a big stone to block the hole with all her efforts. After a while lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The sky rained. Finally the fire was gone. But Snake got hurt and she fell down.

Animals： Snake， Snake， wake up！ Wake up！

Bear： （Cried） She saved us， but burnt herself.

Tiger： NO， she will be fine.

Snake： With the help of my friends， I woke up. The scar is still here but looks like a beautiful pattern.

Bird： I see. You are so brave. We are proud of you.
