Sam secret’s zooThere was once a boy called Sam. He lived with his mum and dad in a large, low bungalow with a red roof.It was very, very hot in this country and all the adults used to spend long afternoons asleep.

But Sam never slept. He spent every afternoon in his amazing magical garden with all his animals. Sam was really crazy about animals – he had all the usual pets such as a dog and a cat and a bird, but Sam also had an amazing collection of unusual pets as well.

The garden at the back of the bungalow was a very exciting place. It was surrounded by huge trees at the back and had lush, tropical plants with big leaves on every side. This was perfect for hiding his pets.

When you came out of the back door there was a low wall at the bottom of the steps, which divided the terrace and the garden. Now inside this wall there lived a whole family. Sam came down the steps and pulled out a brick at the bottom of the wall. And there before his eyes was the whole family…. of scorpions…
