 It was a sunny day in the woods. Tom, the 

Chameleon, was walking in the afternoon sun. 

What a marvelous day, he thought to himself. 

As he walked farther, he heard a strange 

noise. "Oh mom, please! I'll find one! I swear, 

I saw it somewhere down there!", a voice said 

close by. "Honey, chameleons are very timid, 

and they can camouflage. Are you sure 

they're out here?", another voice replied. Tom 

felt nervous. Who is that?

 Tom was curious, he kept walking deeper and 

deeper in the woods. But the deeper he went, 

the voices became louder. "I think I found 

one", said the first voice. What is going on, 

thought Tom. But before he could imagine, a 

hand came around him and lifted him up. 

PLOP! "I got one mom! I got one! I knew I'd 

get one!", yelled the first voice. "Great honey, 

now let's get back home for supper", the 

second voice said. Tom tried to get out of the 

jar. He twisted and turned, but it was no use. 

He was trapped.

 "He is so cool! I'm gonna name him Slimy!", 

said the first voice. "Alright Bobby, hurry on 

down so we can have supper", said Bobbys 

mom. "Okay mom", Bobby replied. When 

Bobby left, Tom felt more alone than ever. I 

want to go home thought Tom sadly. Soon 

Bobby came back. "Sorry Slimy, mom said you 

have to stay in the living room until dad 

comes", he said as he took Toms jar. 

"Goodnight Slimy", yelled Bobby as he ran 

back upstairs to his room. Trapped and alone, 

Tom closed his eyes and went to sleep.

 As Tom awoke the next morning, he felt nervous 

and alert. "Morning Slimy!", called Bobby. He 

dumped in two crickets in the jar and left. But Tom 

wasn't hungry. He wanted to leave this place, 

NOW! "Hope you don't keep Slimy in the living 

room all day Bobby because Molly is coming over 

today", said Bobbys mom from the kitchen. "I'll 

take him to my room mom", replied Bobby. He ran 

to Toms jar and said, "Great news! Mollys' coming 

over! She's gonna love you!" Tom didn't have time 

to think before he was moving again.

 After a while, the door bell rang. "Hey! Molly 

must be here!", said Bobby with excitement. 

Tom just didn't care. Bobby went downstairs 

and came back with a girl. "Nice lizard Bobby, 

does it like to play?", asked Molly as she went  

to the jar. "I think, let's go Slimy", said Bobby. 

Tom squirmed, but couldn't leave his 

grasp."Let's start with alien encounter",said 

Bobby. And off they went.
