                I heard scratching at our wooden cabin but I couldn't see anything. We were spending three days in a tree house so that we could photograph animals. I got up, screamed and saw the camera flash as my friends took a photograph of me. I had just gone to sleep when suddenly I woke up because I heard a screeching noise. I was on a safari holiday with friends in South Africa.
