A gust of hot air rippled across my back as I ran from the enraged beast, cursing my sense of curiosity. I had promised my mom that I’d avoid this part of the planet, especially after I managed to anger the man-eating ocelots last week, but I really thought that there was no way I’d manage to anger the normally timid fire-breathing koalas.
