I am lost in the Everglades and I am in trouble. I can see a deep swamp, tall grass and a cliff in the distance. I hear insects buzzing and branches shaking. I am beginning to panic, but I try to stay calm. I lie flat and crawl out of the mud carefully. Then I see bubbles in the water and realise that an alligator may be hiding there, so I run away quickly and climb to safety.
