Lesson 21:Perri Plays Possum

It was working! The dog thought she was dead
and had lost interest.
As quickly as he had come, the dog turned and
disappeared. Perri just lay still, afraid to move.
But playing possum for too long has its
drawbacks.
Just as Perri was about to get to her feet, she
heard another loud rumbling sound, then a screech
and a slam.
She opened her eye the tiniest bit and saw a tall,
skinny man in blue coveralls coming toward her.
