Challenge Text

I was thinking that after-school football was definitely the worst idea ever when I heard a rustling from the trees. I stopped dribbling the ball and peered into the woods. And there it was – the large creature I’d seen before. It was hiding between one of two small trees and peeping through the leaves.
At first I thought it might be a bear because it was covered in brown fur. But it was completely the wrong shape for a bear, and I don't think bears hide behind trees and peep through leaves.
