Jake and Jackie Learn to Respect Wildlife
By Beth Beutler

¹     "Shhhh..." Jake whispered, tapping Jackie on the shoulder. "Take a look at this!"

²     Jackie turned. Her eyes followed Jake's arm and hand to where it pointed into some tall grass.

³     Jackie shrieked! "It's a snake!" she cried.

⁴     Jake about fell down laughing.

⁵     "Yep," he said. "Let's get closer and see what kind!"

⁶     "I don't think that would be a good idea," said a deep voice, as Jake's dad approached the kids. "Sometimes it is hard to tell if a snake is poisonous. Best to leave it alone."

⁷     The snake seemed to agree. It slithered off into the woods.

⁸     Jackie shook. "Now I'm not sure I want to go on that trail again," she said.

⁹     Jake rolled his eyes. Jake's dad patted Jackie on the shoulder.

¹⁰     "It's a good idea to be wise, but you don't have to be scared. You just have to be careful around any kind of wildlife."
