My mother built our __ __ __ __
with fishing line and I got
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ in it. I was
scared I would be strangled!
I was eating
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ off
the ground and got the line that
washed up on shore wrapped
around my __ __ __ __.
I was scared I wouldn’t be
able to get free!
I was __ __ __ __ __ __ __
when I got my __ __ __ __
caught in the tangled ball.

but I was untangling
everything instead.
I got the fishing line wrapped
around my __ __ __ __ __ and
couldn’t __ __ __ __ __ __ __.
I couldn’t swim forward or
backward, it was awful!
