Creature with two

- Mlungisi Madlala, and Jesse Breytenbach

One day, the girls were playing at the river. Suddenly, from behind a tree, there was a strange creature! The creature had two eyes, two ears, two arms, and two legs. Shaking with fear, they ran to tell their brothers about what they had seen. But the boys didn't believe them, "The girls are being silly!" they said. Eventually, curiosity got the better of the boys. They followed the girls to the river to see this strange creature for themselves. They searched and searched but all they could see was the tall grass and trees. Suddenly, they heard a noise, and looked up. Up on a tree swung the strangest creature they had ever seen. It had two arms, two hands, two legs and two feet. Instead of only one each, like them. The frightened children ran home to call their parents. Soon the whole family was at the river to see this creature.
