Paula  I have to go into the garden and make a list of all the creatures that I find. Then I have to write one thing about each creature.

Paula  Um, bugs, bees, spiders, worms.

Jenny  Yes. Anything else?

Paula  Maybe I’ll find a snake.

Jack  Well, it’s not impossible, but it’s unlikely in Britain.

Jenny  What else would you expect to find, Paula?

Paula  Um, birds.

Jenny  Yes.

Paula  Perhaps a frog. Are there any racoons in England?

Jack  Unfortunately not. But there are a lot of rabbits and squirrels.
