Sandy and Sandra
Once there was a Desert Plated Lizard named Sandy. He lived on the Roaring Dune at Skeleton Coast, Namibia, Africa. On the dune next door lived his friend Sandra. Sandy and Sandra loved to slide down the sand dune and watch as the sand rippled down the dune. One day they decided to go see what was beyond the Roaring Dune.
When one of the tourist buses came, Sandy and Sandra started to wave and the bus stopped. Three people ran out and caught Sandra but Sandy was too quick. While Sandra was being a movie star, Sandy ran up and jumped on the bus. He then screamed to Sandra in lizardish (which humans cannot hear), “Come to the truck when you get put down.” So after a half hour of getting photos taken (which she quite enjoyed), Sandra dug a tunnel in the dune and popped right up in front of the bus and jumped on.
About 30 minutes later the bus arrived at the beach. The two lizards had never seen so much water. They walked around the rocks and all of a sudden they saw a fish. They thought it moved just the way they did in the sand. They walked around for about 29 minutes watching the people catch four HUGE 2 feet long fish! It was good that they went in the bus then because one minute later the bus drove away with the lizards.
The next stop was a sandy beach. The lizards thought it was a wonderful place and even thought about moving there. A few minutes after they got off the bus they met a big ferocious crab. He grabbed and pinched them and chased them down the beach. When the crab finally left, they looked down the beach and discovered that the bus was lost in the mist!
They started walking away from the ocean planing to walk to the nearest dune. Suddenly Sandy shouted, “There’s the bus!” They scampered over to the object that Sandy called a bus only to find it was the grave of a stranded lizard by the name of John S. Lizard. “We are really helpless now,”cried Sandra. “I know,” exclaimed Sandy, “Let’s dig a lizard hole.” They dug and dug and dug until they came across 17 lizard skeletons! They both screamed and ran out of the hole.
Then Sandy remember something that the grave had said, “Died on Skeleton Coast January 5, 1872.” ”Ahhh! We are on Skeleton Coast!!!” Sandy screamed. Sandy and Sandra had heard a lot about how so many lizards had gotten stranded on Skeleton Coast, and how horrible the place was. The two lizards ran as fast as they could until Sandy yelled happily, “Look! There is the bus!!! Yay!!!” They both jumped on the bus with glee a second before it roared away to the Roaring Dune!
