We (me and my family) have a forest near our house. We go there to pick berries and mushrooms. I pretty much know the outskirts of the forest, but deeper in - no. Listen -
One day, we were walking along the outskirts of the woods. It's a little noisy, because people live there. There is also a little stream running out of the trees. A little sunny, a bit shady, trees round - that's the habitat that forest animals like. We were entering the woods, (the entrance is near the stream, where the trees part) and a thing like a snake slithered from the bushes nearby, shot across our path and dived into the stream. Isn't that weird? And, to cap it all, the snake-like creature had tiny brown glistening scales like a lizard (and a very big one too)!?
We didn't know what the creature was, so we just carried on picking mushrooms. When I visited my grandpa, he told me it was a blindworm - a lizard without legs! Well I never... Have you seen something like that?
