The girl crept quietly into the peaceful night. She was extremely anxious. She peered around checking for any signs of danger. Only twenty more metres until she reached the beautiful, moonlit river.
The girl snuck into the ice-cold water. She was super frightened. She glided through the water all night until her body was aching. The girl slowly peered out from the bushes. She could see a familiar-looking man that was spear fishing on the nice, smooth, beautiful river bank. As she crept closer and closer, she realized it was her grandad. As she ran happily into his soft loving arms, at that moment she knew she was home and safe with her family.
