Sayeh tied a friendship bracelet to my cage, which was unsqueakably nice.

After a while, the boys stopped making noise.

It was nice and quiet. Maybe it was a little too quiet.

“I guess the boys got tired,” Heidi said.

“Maybe they’re afraid of the dark,” Gail said.

I heard some shuffling and whispering kinds of sounds.

“Something’s out there,” Sayeh whispered.

“It sounds like it’s near the tent,” Miranda said. “Let’s see.”

The girls quietly picked up their flashlights and tiptoed to the tent flap.

“There’s something in the grass,” Gail whispered.

“It’s a . . . great . . . big . . . snake!” Heidi shouted.

“Eeek!” the girls screamed.

They raced toward the house, leaving me all alone in the tent.

“Eeek!” I squeaked. “Take me with you!” By then they were too far away to hear me.

So I did what any small hamster would do. I hid in my bedding and tried to be very still.

It wasn’t easy, because I was quivering and shivering.

Then I heard laughter.

I don’t think snakes laugh, so I poked my head out of the bedding.

“Did you see those girls run away?” I heard a voice say.

It was Seth talking.

The other boys laughed.

I climbed to the top of my cage so I could see through the tent flap.
