Hello, my name is Max. I live off the Eastern coast of Australia. The island that I live on is very mystical and somehow my mum became a witch. We have this lake in the backyard but I don’t know what’s in there. My mum tells me not to go near the lake. Now to the story.

One day I was playing kick ball with my friend Jack [cool dude] when he kicked the ball and it went flying into the lake! I ran after the ball and fell into the lake!! Luckily I scrambled out.

Then for a joke, Jack pushed me back into the lake!!! Oh no, now I can see what is in the pond…A GIANT ELECTRIC EEL!!! The eel was a very dark green with electric bolts coming out of its sides and it had razor sharp teeth in its mouth.

I thought I was done for, I expected the eel to come at me with those razor sharp teeth of his. It didn’t, instead it seemed quite happy to have my company and the funny thing was I too began to feel a connection with the eel. So I swam to the eel and sat on its back. Surprisingly, I didn’t get electrocuted! It started to move; slowly at first but then, like a car accelerating, it went faster and faster. I realised I was riding the eel! Jack was amazed that I could ride such a thing!
