Chris lived with his parents near the snowy mountains. One day, Chris and his father took some youngsters hiking. As they climbed the mountains, Chris saw a gaping hole in the icy rocks. Curious, he peered inside and soon entered a dark cave. Suddenly, he heard a menacing growl. His heart was pounding; he turned and ran for his life. Tired, Chris sat on a rock outside. Suddenly, it shook violently and Chris fell. He rolled down the slope and hit a tree. Dazed and hurt, he opened his eyes. A great white furry creature stood near the cave. Its eyes gleamed, and his wicked teeth were bared. The creature moved towards Chris. Chris closed his eyes in fright. He could hear the giant thudding footsteps. Someone shouted ‘Chris!’ He opened his eyes and saw his father and the others. He looked up. The snow monster had gone. However, they decided to return home and celebrate their safe return with a hearty meal.
