Here is an example of a Rattlesnake main event I created:
(Great beginning goes here)
I stepped carefully following my father's footsteps up the steep hill. Suddenly, I heard a familiar sound. SSSSS!! SSSSS! "Dad. A snake. Stop!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. We both froze where we were waiting to hear another hiss and rattle from the rattlesnake. I didn't know what to do. I was so scared. My legs were trembling as quietly as they could. I noticed that I began to hold my breath in order to silence it. My dad motioned for me to follow him to the top of a large boulder. I moved as quick and quiet as I could, my heart beating fast in my chest. I felt safe with my dad's arm around my shoulders. We stood still searching the ground below us for the rattlesnake. With the sun setting soon, we had to hurry as we needed to get off the mountain. Finally, I saw a little bit of movement. Something slithered slowly across the small rocks right where we had just been walking. "Oh my, I thought to myself. "We were way to close to that rattler!" Tears fell silently down my cheeks. My feet were too frozen in fear to move and my body felt so tired. I was so happy that I had not been hiking alone. I pointed at the ground and my dad nodded that he too saw the snake.
When we felt certain that the snake had moved away, we finally spoke. "We need to be careful sweetie," my dad spoke calmly. "There could be a rattlesnake den in the area." We looked at our map and decided on a different route to head down the mountain.
(Then the ending goes here)
Problem: A rattlesnake is blocking our path and the sun will set soon.
