The camping adventure

Mum, Dad, Ben and Tess are in the van. They are going on a camping adventure in the forest. Sam and Pam have never been on a camping adventure before.

When they get there Dad finds a place to camp. Dad loves camping.
“Being surrounded by nature and being out in the fresh air is such a joy!” laughs Dad.

Ben and Tess share a tent. They can hear an owl. They enjoy making owl noises until Mum gets annoyed.
“Twit-twoo! Twit-twoo!”
“Oi! Don’t be so noisy!” she shouts.
“Twit-twoo! Twit-twoo!”
“Shhhhh! Noisy!” says Pam.

The next day Ben and Tess meet a boy with very fair hair. He knows a lot about nature. He tells them that rare bears used to live in the forest.
“I think I prefer my toy bear,” says Tess. Tess looks scared.

They are walking in the forest and see cows, deer and hares. Mum likes hares. “They are like big rabbits with long ears,” Mum explains. Sam and Pam have never seen these animals. They take out their spypad. “Hare.” “Cow.” “Deer.”

They walk through lots of trees, leaves and sticks on their adventure. “Be careful, some sticks are sharp!” shouts Dad.

“Ouch!” Ben has hurt his ear. Dad puts some ointment on it.
“This will cure you.”
“Are you sure?” says Ben rubbing his ear.
“Ouch.”
“Cure.”

It’s the last night of their camping adventure. “Go to sleep now,” says Dad. Everyone is quiet until they hear a strange noise.

Mum, Dad, Ben and Tess peer out of their tents. They can see a wild pig. It’s brown with lots of hair and a long snout. “Get away from here!” shouts Mum.

On the way home Tess says, “What a great camping adventure. Nature’s fun that’s for sure!”
“Thanks Mum and Dad for our camping adventure,” says Ben still holding his ear!
