The Beast From the East
“I tickled harder.
The trunk started to jiggle.
Bunches of leaves shook free and floated down. They landed in my hair and covered my arms as I jabbed and scratched at the tree trunk.
I tickled harder. The branches shook and swayed. The trunk wriggled.
Yes! I thought excitedly. It’s working! I think it is ticklish!
I’ll make this tree collapse with laughter!
I tickled harder. The trunk squirmed under my fingertips.
I glanced up. Nat’s boots poked through the leaves.
Then his legs. His arms. His f...ace.
The branches were shaking. Quivering and shaking.
Nat swung free. He leaped from branch to branch. His tree-climbing skills were finally coming in handy!
“Hurry!” I shouted up to him. “I can’t keep this up much longer. Jump!”
Nat wriggled down the tree trunk.
“Here goes!” Nat cried. He let go of the trunk and leaped into the air.
He landed in a crouched position at my feet. “Whoa! Good job, Ginger!”
I grabbed his hand and we hurtled away from the tree.
Nat brushed twigs and leaves from his hair.MoreLess
