The lizard shooting blood
It’s a hot day in the desert. A horned lizard sits in the sun. Oh no! A hungry snake is coming. Snakes eat horned lizards!
The lizard tries to blend into the sand and hide. It holds still. Too late! The snake sees it. The snake slithers closer.
The lizard knows what to do. Squirt! It sprays blood out of its eyes! This doesn’t hurt the lizard.
It aims the blood right at the snake. The blood shoots through the air. It lands on the snake.
Yuck! The snake wants to get away. It goes to look for a snack somewhere else.
Now the lizard can relax in the sun. Ahh.
