The silliest thing I ever did was when I got a tiger for a pet. He ate all of my other pets. Then he chased me all the way to the edge of a cliff that led to the water. We fell into the water. I tried to swim to an island. Then I realised that it wasn’t an island, it was a giant ice block that was melting into a teeny weeny ice block, the size of a finger. I fell off the ice block and an enormous albatross tried to carry me away. Luckily two eagles swooped down and grabbed me and took me home. Phew!!
