The scary noise

Last Saturday, Fred went fishing with his Uncle Jim. He had to wake up at six
o’clock in the morning, and his uncle picked him up outside his house at seven.
The roads weren’t busy so they quickly came to a river in the centre of a forest.
“How about fishing here?” Uncle Jim asked. “It’s OK with me,” Fred said.
So, they took two chairs from the car and sat down next to the river. It was
very quiet.

They waited and waited, but they didn’t catch any fish.
“This is boring!” said Fred, “Where are all the fish?”
Uncle Jim didn’t answer because he was asleep!
Then, a very loud noise came from the river. Fred didn’t know what it was and
he wanted to run back to the car. It happened again and again.
“Uncle Jim, wake up! There’s a big animal in the river!” he shouted.

Uncle Jim opened his eyes and listened; then he laughed. “That noise isn’t from
the river – it’s behind you!”
Fred was frightened, but he wanted to be brave in front of his uncle. So, he
slowly got up and looked behind him.
Then, he saw a little frog sitting on a rock! Again, it made the terrible loud
noise. Fred was very surprised! In the end, they didn’t catch any fish, but they
had a funny story to tell Fred’s parents.
