Jellyfish and Crocodiles（水母和鳄鱼）
Hi, my name's Ben. My family, that's Mum, Dad and me, live in Broome in Western Australia. Western Australia is about 80 times larger than Italy, but only 1.5 million people live there. ①
It has a population of about 12,000. It's right on the coast and is known for its famous Cable Beach, which is 20 km long.
We live in the town in a house with a large garden. When we are free, we drive to Cable Beach and look for a quiet place to swim or to fish. We don't go swimming from October to March because there may be box jellyfish in the water. The box jellyfish is one of the most dangerous jellyfish.
② If you are attacked by one, the best thing to do is to pour vinegar（醋）over the area of your body where you are hurt. That's why we always take a bottle of vinegar with us.
③ A year ago I went camping in the bush with my friend Bill and his dad. We wanted to do some fishing and set up camp about 20 meters from a river. ④ Bill's father told us to get up and we quickly got out of the tent and ran to the car, which was only 10 meters away.
Bill's dad started the car and turned on the headlights. In the light, we could see a big crocodile pulling the tent into the river!
