20-DAY 5：FRIDAY

DAY 5: FRIDAY Penelope woke us up at dawn with the usual shower of icy water. I was beginning to wonder where she was getting it. I hadn't had a nice, icy beverage since we left New Mouse City! After a breakfast of scrambled worms, she gave us a lesson on survival techniques. RATTYTRAP JUNGLE IS FULL OF DANGERS!" she squeaked. "You must be careful where you step, as you are about to see." She stuck a red flag in the ground. "SIT HERE, STILTON!" she ordered. I was about to sit down when Penelope began to shout, "DON'T Move, STILTON!" She kicked away a leaf on the ground.

Underneath lay a huge scorpion! "Be careful where you step," our teacher repeated. "If you had sat down, you'd be A DEAD MOUSE, STILTON!" I shivered. My life flashed before my eyes. Then, suddenly, someone was poking me. "No time for daydreaming!" Penelope shouted. She pointed to the path ahead. "Danger is everywhere," she said again. "Now walk to the end of the path, Stilton!" I set out. I had hardly taken more than a couple of steps when I was suddenly lifted into the air! A rope was hidden in the bushes. It was a trap! "Cheese niblets!" I cried. I was dangling upside down! Our teacher chuckled. "See what I mean, Stilton?" she said, cutting the rope that was holding me up. I fell right on my snout!

"OW!" I screamed. But Penelope wasn't finished with me. "Run toward that tree, Stilton!" she demanded. I groaned. What would happen to me this time? Would I be blinded by a sharp tree branch? Would I break all of my paws? I sighed. Then I took off. Seconds later, I fell into a deep, dark hole. "HELP!" I shrieked. Our teacher peeped into the hole.

"ARE YOU STILL ALIVE, STILTION?" she smirked. "Good. Deal with it!" Then she turned to the others. "I hope that you will all remember what has happened to our friend here today!" she squeaked. "Now let's go!" My mouth dropped open. I began to shake. This was the lowest of the low. How could she leave me alone in this dark, scary place? It was so horrifying. Can you guess why? That's right, I'M AFRAID OF ENCLOSED SPACES! I waited three hours. Finally, Penelope came back and pulled me out. I was still shaking, but I was proud of myself. fclnef. I had done it! Yes, I, geronimo stilton, had faced another fear!
