He shone it in Kipper's face. 'You should see it when it's dark!' he said.'It's REALLY good when it's dark!' He sat in Kipper's basket and pulled the blanket over his head. ℃ome on! We can make it dark under here!' hesaid. Under the blanket was one of Kipper's story books. 'That's another thing!' said Tiger. 'You can read under the bed clothes with a torch like this!' Kipper began toread. 'Deep in the middleof the dark, dark wood,there lived a horrible, horrendous, terrible, tremendous ... ' 'That's it!' shouted Tiger, jumping up. 'We'll camp in the"1oods tonight! It'll be really, REALLY dark in the "1oods.' 'Shall I bring my book?' saidKipper. So they took thebook and so biscuits and they put up their tent in thetniddle of the w-oods, at the botto111 ofBig Hill. But as it began toget dark Tiger began to think that perhaps it w-asn't such a good idea after all. “Come inside and have a biscuit,' said Kipper. 'Do you want Rabbit or Big Ow1?' But Tiger didn’t reply.He was looking nervouslyout of the door. 'Do you think there are any bears in these woods?'he whispered. No , I shouldn't think so,' said Kipper. He began to read. 'Deep in the middle of the dark, dark wood, there lived a horrible ... ' But Tiger wasn't ready. He asked Kipper to sit next to the door, instead of him. And whenKipper tried again to read, Tiger got up and zipped the door shut altogether. But the third time Kipper tried to read, from somewhere outside the tent,there came the most terrible, tremendous, horrible, horrendous, “SCREECH” What was that?'said Kipper. Tiger said nothing. 'Let's go and look!' whispered Kipper. So they crept out of the tent and into the woods,shining Tiger's torch ahead of them. 'I think it came from somewhere near here,' said Kipper. The torch beam lit up the enormous, grey trunk of an old tree. There in the middle was a dark, dark hole. Suddenly a huge pair of yellow eyes blinked open, and from the hole came the most terrible, “SCREECH” They shrieked and ran, bumping into each other and sending the torch flying. They scrambled into the tent and lay there panting hard, listening ... I think it was just an ow1,' whispered Kipper.'Yes, it was just a silly,old ow1.' But behind him, the shadow of something was growing on the wall of the tent. Something with horns. It's a horrible,horrendous monster!' squealedTiger. The shape on the tent grew and grew till it was looming above them. Then it slowly changed into a shape that Kipper had seen before. Kipper crept back out of the tent and walked towards the torchlight. There,caught in the beam, was a little snail. Kipper picked upthe torch and let the snail crawlon to his paw. He looked at the snail closely. Its horns curled in and out as he touched them. I’ve found the horrible, horrendous monster! Look Tiger!' Tiger peeped outfrom underneath theblanket. He saw- the snail. He saw- itsshadow-. He felt silly. Shall I read the story now?' said Kipper. But Kipper neverdid get to read his story, becausethey went home to Tiger's house, where they put up the tent inTiger's bedroom ... .. and Tiger got to read it instead.
