After lunch, John said they should play football. When the ball came to Fred, he locked it into some long grass. “I’ll get it.” he said and hurried off to find the ball. Moments later there was a shout and out came Fred holding his leg, “I’ve bitten by a snake!”

As the others rushed over to help. Fred began laughing. “Ha! I’m not really hurt.” But Betty didn’t laugh, “I can’t believe you did that, Fred. I was really frightened for you.”
