First Draft
Food Fight of the day
Today was a typical monday sunny afternoon, me and my parents, who are buffalos were just going for a walk in the dry grassland of the savannah. We were just hunting for food because I was hungry. We were walking peacefully looking around the river banks until my dad told me and my mom to stay put, we asked him why and he said ‘Well I think we're being targeted right now’. As my dad was looking for something. I could see a lion's head, I thought I was hallucinating but I wasn’t! I saw my dad’s eyes grow, ‘Lions Run!’He shouted.
I could hear faint screeching noises of the lions telling them to chase after us. I could smell danger lying ahead. My parents ran without me by their side thinking I was, but as soon as I ran I could see the lions chasing one thing, ME! I wasn’t as fast as my parents so i was pretty slow for a calf. I could see desire in their eyes as they chased me, licking their long looking filthy tongues at my rich meat. Wham! I got knocked into the river I was next to. I tasted something I never tasted before, blood! I felt Like a chicken running away from death. Swimming up I could feel 2 fluffy and soft hands helping me up, I thought it was my parents, but no it was something that was going to be my nightmare for a while.
As I walked back to my parents I felt joy and relieved that I was alive, I had a few scratches but other than that I was perfectly fine. I remembered the look on the lions as they saw my parents heard coming up to them coming to get me back. I smiled at that thought. I had learned my lesson, never go into the wild areas of the savanna with a calf.
