Come Back from the Dark UFLI Foundations Lesson 78
Practice Words
My two villagers walk off all the time. 'Do not go far,' I tell them. Do they stop? They do not. The water swept them into a dark stone cave with force. They are stuck. One villager lifts his arms up. He calls and calls for help.
Then something moves in the dark. A Zombie grabs one villager. Scratch! Bite! Just like that. The next villager steps back. Green spots form on his skin. One more Zombie has a look from the back of the cave. My villagers are not my villagers any more.
One Zombie steps into the sun. Flash! Flames scorch it. My zombie villagers do not move. They stand in the dark with blank white looks. They can not step into the sun. It will scorch them. I must help them. But can I do it before they bite me?
I run back home fast. I check box after box for the things I must have. Yes! This is it. I mix it all up on the stand. The mix fizzes and pops. It is green! This mix must do the job. I can make just one mix, so I hope it is a lucky one.
The cave is so dark. I walk in with two glass bottles. My steps are soft. There they are. Two zombie villagers sit on the cold stone. They look up at me with blank white looks. 'This is for the best,' I tell them. Then I toss both bottles hard. Smash! Splash! The mix is on them.
It did the job! The green fades. My two villagers stand and blink and grin. They are so glad. They pile the table with gifts for me. 'Thanks for the help!' they yell. 'I bet there are more zombie villagers to save,' I tell them. My villagers do not grin any more.
