Last night I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that I lived in a jungle（丛林）in Africa with many animals. I made friends with monkeys, snakes and giraffes. Every day I woke up early in the morning and went hunting for food. I ate fruit and insects. After breakfast, I had a meeting with the monkeys. They spoke to me in an unusual language and I understood them. Then I met the snakes for lunch. During lunch, we discussed what to do about the tiger. The tiger was our enemy. He wanted to eat all of us and we were afraid of him. Finally, we thought of a plan. The monkeys and the snakes suggested（建议） that I should try to catch the tiger while he was sleeping.
So, when the tiger was taking his afternoon nap（小睡）, I took my net and quietly walked towards him. I was very quiet, but the tiger was sleeping very lightly. He opened his eyes, looked at me and gave a roar（吼叫）. I was so frightened that I forgot to run away. The tiger jumped on me and just as he opened his mouth to eat me, I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I found that my pet cat was licking（舔） my face. I was so relieved（放心的）!
