СОКРАТИТЕ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА When Chris and Lizzie won a holiday competitior they couldn't believe their luck. They flew to Maputc where they met their African guide, Sisa. Sisa drov them in his jeep to the green banks of the grec Limpopo River. They climbed into a small woode canoe and began an adventure they would neve forget.
The canoe glided silently through the limpopo's slow. moving water. Relaxing, Chris and lizzie looked at a the interesting riverside plants and trees, and the colourful birds which flew across the river. They felt like great explorers in an unknown land.
Just then, an enormous grey crocodile slithered dowr the muddy bank and slid into the water. The fiff splash made Lizzie jump. "Don't worry, Lizzie," Sisc. said. "There are plenty of crocodiles around, but they are not a danger to us." But Lizzie was right to feel nervous; a minute later they noticed not one, but a least ten other crocodiles swimming towards the canoe!
Plunging his oar into the water, Sisa quickly began rowing the canoe away from danger ... but the crocodiles followed. Chris grabbed the other oar and started to beat the water furiously, trying to scare them off. The narrow boat rocked dangerously, causing Lizzie to scream in panic. Suddenly, they were surrounded by a dozen pairs of snapping jaws which crunched and smashed both oars to pieces. Now there seemed to be no escape!
At that moment, a large fishing boat appeared.
Hearing the terrified cries of the people in the canoe, the boat's captain realised what was happening.
Immediately, he ordered his crew to throw some of the fish they had caught that day back into the river.
Smelling the fish, the crocodiles swam towards the middle of the river, where a much easier meal was waiting for them. Thanks to the captain's quick thinking, Sisa and his friends were rescued just in time.
Safely on board the fishing boat, Chris pulled two rather wet postcards from his pocket. Smiling, he said,
"At least we have a story to tell our friends back in England." "That's for sure," think they'll believe us?"
Lizzie replied, "but do you
