Skyler: I can't believe it's almost Christmas.
Chatter: Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Theo: I have a surprise.
I taught Whiskers a trick.
Riley: Wow. That's amazing!
Ben: I have a surprise too.
Riley: What is it?
Ben: The Pet Lovers Club has a job.
A snake-sitting job!
Sarah: You mean we have to sit on a snake?
Theo: No. Ben means we have a job taking care of a snake.
Ben: That's right!
Riley: Whose snake is it?
Ben: It's Johnny Lee's snake, Sammy.
Johnny lives next door to me.
Ben: His family is going away for Christmas.
Ben: We have to feed Sammy every day for five days.
Theo: Snake-sitting sounds fun!
Ben: Yep. And you'll like Sammy.
He's very friendly.
Theo: This is my big sister Kelli.
My mom said she had to come along.
Kids: Hi, Kelli.
Sarah: Are you baby-sitting us?
Kelli: Well, kind of.
But don't let that snake get near me!
Theo: He won't get near you.
Unless he gets out!
Kelli: He'd better not, or I'm telling Mom!
Theo: Don't worry. I'm just kidding.
Ben: This is where Sammy lives.
I'm going to show him to Speedy.
Sarah: Speedy wants to run away!
Riley: Maybe Speedy doesn't like snakes.
Kelli: He's not the only one.
Skyler: What does Sammy like to eat?
Ben: Snake food from the pet store.
Theo: I bet it has worms in it!
Sarah: I'm glad I don't have to eat worms.
Skyler: Look, Sammy's tongue came out.
Theo: Maybe he's hungry!
