“Ooooooh, this is so good!” munched Danny. “How come we never ate leaves before? There’s tons in our garden! We just ignore them…”

When the empty feeling inside him began to ease off, Josh looked up. He was surprised to see that Danny had stopped eating. Danny’s big green eyes were bulging. Suddenly Danny spat out something brown and sticky right onto his lovely leaf.

“UGGGH! MANNERS, PLEASE!” said Josh. “Did you eat a gross piece?”

Danny shook his head. He stared at Josh, his enormous eyes shining like glass beads. Somewhere in his brain Josh knew that spitting brown stuff was a bad sign. It was something grasshoppers did when—

“JUMP!” yelled Danny. He pinged up into the sky. Which helped Josh to remember. Ah yes…grasshoppers chucked up brown goo out of fear. Usually fear of…PREDATORS!

All Josh saw, when he finally turned around, was a huge mouth. A gigantic pink diamond-shaped pair of jaws with sharp white fangs and a pointed pink tongue with hundreds of spikes on it. Blecch! He spat out his own brown blob.

His slingshot legs threw him high into the air. But then he collided, with a whump, against a thick furry log, which was falling from the sky.

When five razor-sharp white claws shot out of it, Josh realized that it was actually a paw.

He found himself splatted back down on the leafy wall, with a gigantic furry face pressed right against him. A moist pink nose nudged him, and a fan of fine white spiky things drooped down on either side of him. Whiskers. A gust of meaty breath blew him over.

Josh realized he was about to be eaten by a cat.
