WHO WILL CROSS THE SEA?

Sangmin Lee
Once apon a time... There lived an iguana named Cucumber. He was 23 years old( which is very, very old for an iguana). Many animals wanted to know his secret of living so long. Meanwhile, there lived an opossum named Satrat Ssekeke Siliphi Sonot Sututu the Second. People who knew him called him Sulli for short.
One day, Sulli woke up in the morning without the sound of his sister on the karaoke machine.“ Strange,” he thought. He ran downstairs only to find that the bottom half of his house had a giant hole in it! The karaoke machine lay broken on the floor and some of Sulli’ s sister’ s fur was lying on the ground! Next to the fur were the footprints of a cat. A CAT. The most dangerous enemy and predator of all opposums. Angst filled Sulli as he ran out of the house through the hole. There, he found his sister lying on the ground, her life seeping out of her. Sulli was aghast. He knew though, that the only way to save his sister was to find out Cucumber’ s secret to living long. So, he left his sister and as quick as a tsunami, he rushed to Cucumber’ s house.
“ Cucumber! Cucumber! I need your help!” he shouted when he arrived.
