The look in the tiger’s eyes was one of the wild. He was looking at me with those wild eyes. Then he started to chase me! I ran as fast as I could but the tiger was fast, really fast! Too fast for me, but I kept ruining. I was running so fast I fell! I scramble to my feet but the tiger was now right in front of me, face to face! I froze right there. And the tiger let out the biggest roar that anyone ever heard…

Suddenly I woke up. Oh it was just a dream. But in the distance I still heard the tiger. I looked out my window and there was the tiger. The same one as in my dream!

I raced downstairs. My mom was already up. Before I could say anything the tiger broke the door down! And then he jumped out an open window and ran into the woods.

“Oh wow!” I said, “I didn’t know there were tigers here.”

“I didn’t ether,” said mom.
