A dangerous dilemma
The group of friends now understood the danger that loomed over them. They were standing in the middle of the lake, with no means of getting to the shore without falling through the ice. And if that wasn’t enough, the last blow from Mike had freed the crocodile, which was slowly advancing towards them.
It was trying to crawl onto the ice, but it was actually worsening the situation. Every time the animal sank its claws into the ice to pull itself up, a small piece would collapse and fall into the water. Panic was building, and everyone looked at each other, waiting for someone to come up with a good idea.
