Author's note: Well here we are! Chapter 3! LOL. I never really thought I'd
get the story THIS far! Thanx to everyone who reviewed! You keep reviewing
and I'll keep writing ;)
Selma put down her shovel, and looked at her hands. They were burning from the heat and blisters. She moaned, and turned around to see how far behind she was on her digging, and there it was. A HUGE lizard!
"Oh.My.God. SNAAAAKE!" She shouted.
Jaimie screamed, and everyone heard a loud THUD.
Everything happened so fast, the water truck was heading toward them at great speed, and Mr.Pendanski was running after it.
Mr.Sir ran out of his truck, grabbed his gun, and shot what Selma thought was a snake right in the head. It was the most frightening thing Selma had ever seen.
"That was no snake." He said calmly. "It was a yellow spotted lizard."
Selma wasn't really listening to what Mr.Sir was saying. She quickly ran out of her hole, past the dead lizard, and right into Jaimie's hole.Jaimie was right there, sprawled on the ground.
"Oh my God! Jaimie are you Okay!?" Selma tried to shake her awake. Becca was right behind her.
"MR.SIRR!! JAIMIE'S PASSED OUT! .I think.." Becca shouted.
Mr.Pendanski rushed over to them. When he saw Jaimie he said, "Oh dear. I'm going to take her back to the tent. I want all of you to finish your holes! Go on, back to work!"
Selma and Becca managed to get Jaimie back on her feet, (she was still a little groggy, though) and helped her into the truck.
"The warden still expects Jaimie's hole to be finished." Mr.Sir added gruffly.
"UGH. I can't even dig my OWN hole, now they want an extra one!" Selma said, feeling very angry.
"We'll help!" Said Caveman, cheerfully.
"Aww! Thanks, that's very sweet of you!" Becca smiled.

The rest of the day wasn't as bad. Jaimie was Okay; she had the next day off too, though, since she wasn't feeling well.
Zero finished his hole very quickly, Selma noticed, and then he started on Jaimie's. Squid and X-ray joined him, and then before she knew it, they were done. Selma thanked them all.
Sqiud then asked if she needed help with HER hole. She was first taken aback, but then accepted his offer, she needed all the help she could get. Caveman, she noticed, was helping Becca.
