Henry's Hunch
Last summer, Henry and his twin brother, Sam, decided to go camping in the mountains with their friends. One morning, Sam got up earlier than the rest of the boys, so he went for a walk in the woods while they were still sleeping. Suddenly, Henry woke up and shouted, 'Sam's in trouble!' He looked very frightened. In the beginning, the other boys thought that he had had a nightmare. However, when they saw that Sam wasn't around, they got worried. They began calling his name, but there was no answer. Henry told the boys to follow him and they did. They kept walking till, to everyone's surprise, they heard Sam crying for help. Henry was so scared that he started running faster and faster until he reached the edge of a cliff. He couldn't believe his eyes! Sam was hanging off the edge. Fortunately, Henry found his twin just in time. He pulled his brother up and hugged him. He was so relieved. Sam asked Henry. 'How did you know I was in danger?", but Henry didn't know what to say. He had just felt it.
