I saw a black fin coming out of our spring creek.
Was it a fish?
No, fish aren’t black. Plus this thing in the water was long.
Then it hit me, no not the thing in the water, it stayed in the water. What hit me was that the thing in the water was an eel.
I realised that eels can move on the ground. I was away from the creek fast, with the rake of course.
That’s when I decided to help Mum drain water where the digger had been.
Where Mum was making drains to move water was very muddy. On my way to see her I got stuck. Luckily, I had the rake to get me out. Worse to come I had Scott’s old gumboots on. They were pretty new. I got them the dirtiest they had been so far.
