It was the first camping experience for Jed.
As soon as he had pitched his tent, he went for a hike in the woods.
About fifteen minutes, he rushed back into the camp, bleeding and disheveled.
"What happened?" asked a fellow camper.
"I was chased by a black snake!" cried the frightened Jed.
The camper laughed and retorted, "A black snake isn't deadly."
"Listen," groaned Jed, "If he can make me jump off a fifty-foot cliff, he is!"
