ONCE UPON THE MILLIPEDE

On the last day of our coop retreat at Methodist Bungalow, Fraser Hill  , Joelle and I were walking in the morning while the rest of the gang were eating breakfast outside. Joelle and I spotted a snail in its shell and Joelle wanted the snail to come out of its shell. So I turned on a nearby water tap and put the snail gently on the puddle. Then Joelle said the snail needs to eat something, so we went to the garden at the bungalow and started searching for something to let the snail eats. But on the grass, I found instead, a giant millipede!!! I called Joelle and she was amazed too. I touched the giant monster's back and it felt like shining smooth armor. It started to crawl towards the drain, but Joelle and I did not want it to go away!

So I got stuff like stones, sticks, bricks and rotten leaves to block but the millipede was so flexible and fast that it passed through my blockage! Joelle  shouted "AAAHH...!! The millipede is going to the drain!" So I rushed to my Dad and called him to catch the giant millipede. He caught the millipede on a stick and gave it to me. Joelle and I ran to the others to show it to them. Everyone wanted to take photos and videos of it ! Even Uncle Wai Hong posed for a photo acting as though he wanted to eat the millipede! He was so hilarious.
