We heard a HISSSSSSSSS.
It came from under the chair, my first thought was that it was a snake... but no! A blue duck billed platypus slithered up to us. It spoke. "Guinea pooog" I screamed no. His name was papa.
How did he find us here?!
I picked up my guinea pig in a hurry and held her tightly.
I wept. We had to get to Italy... and quick.
I jumped up and ran with my guinea pig.
The nearest airport was too far away! I'd have to get a boat. There was a river nearby! But....
Papa was also following us.....
His quick slivering feet ran after us, while he hissed.
A tourist boat was just loading up, I hopped on sending people splashing in the water in surprise! But there was a problem...
Splash!
