2 Attack of the Ants! The Present

CHAPTER 2 ATTACK OF THE ANTS!

If you're like most of our readers, you're probably wondering whether we have a building permit for our treehouse. Well, of course we do. Terry organised it. 'Didn't you, Terry? Terry?! Where are you?' 'Ah, there you are,' I say. 'I was telling the readers how you got a permit for the treehouse.' 'GRRRR!' says Terry.

'Terry,' I say, 'quit messing around.' 'GRRRRR!' He looks kind of weird. And I think I know why. He's covered in ants! 'Have you been playing in the ant farm again?' I say. But Terry doesn't answer. He just reaches out and grabs me by the throat. 'TERRY?!' I gasp.

Just when I can hardly breathe a moment longer, another Terry rushes in.

'Don't worry, Andy,' says the second Terry. 'I'll save you!'

The second Terry whacks the first Terry with a badminton racquet. WHAP!
