Super Prawn!Book 1: Super Prawn Escapes!

Chapter 8

 Now, I'm going to tell you a secret. It's a secret that's so secret that once I tell you, the only ones who will know the secret are you and me and everyone else who knows the secret.

First, you have to lean your ear in really close to this page or you won't hear it when I whisper.

Ready?

OK, here goes: "..........................................................."

So, what do you think about that? Amazing, isn't it? I mean, I was flabergasted (possibly one of my most favouritest words ever, and although it's long and looks complicated, I think you'll be fine with it. If not, please replace with 'stunned', 'shocked', 'startled', 'surprised', or even 'amazed'. But none of those are quite so much fun as having your gast flabbered.)

I mean, who would have ever thought that a prawn's best friend could be a hermit crab! What a secret that is!

Oh bums... Me and my big mouth. Never could keep a secret. I tried once before. Fed it every day. Gave it water. Then it died. But I'm like that with any animal.

But why share this secret of the bond between prawn and crab, I hear you ask?

"Why have you told me the secret of the bond between prawn and crab?"

See — told you.

Let me just say that it is this bond to which we owe the safety of our planet. Let me also say that I have never eaten a hermit crab. Though I'd probably have a go. I mean, why not? It's just a crab. Except for the one you will meet in the next chapter. (Or maybe the one after that, I can't really remember.) Who is more than a crab. But still a crab. And probably delicious. Not that I'd know. Yet. But first, back to Richard and his mission to save Earth!
