Chapter 4 - France

A huge spider came down gently and approached Sam and Nancy.

-       "Ugh! A spider!" cried Nancy.

-       "Why do you say it like that Nancy?' asked Sam, as he got a splinter from the old tower floor.

-       "Help us!"

-       "But hang on a minute," murmured the spider, "I do want to help you both."

Quickly, the two children ran towards the spider, they jumped onto his back and guided him towards a mouse hole at the base of the wall.  Little Dragon too  followed them there.

What an event! They avoided the legs of the giant dragon who was spitting fire - he was furious since he had cut his feet on the bits of crockery on the floor. ROOAARR!! Mad with rage and in pain, he destroyed everything around him and ended up buried under a pile of rocks from the tower walls.

From the mouse hole, Sam and Nancy breathed a sigh of relief.

-     How are we going to get to the base of the tower now ? wondered the children.

-     Don't worry, I'll call my friends and family and we will make a chain.

The two friends jumped onto the back of the spider and then onto another and then another, followed by Little Dragon.

Once safely there, Nancy took some sweets out of her bag and both her and Sam gave them out to all the spiders as a thank you to them!

Little Dragon folded his tiny wings.
