How The Gecko Survived by Liam

Once upon a time there was a gecko who had never seen the sun.The gecko didn't even know what the sun was.
One day the ground was getting very hot. A thin trail of hot orange stuff (lava) was coming into his den. The gecko did something very brave, he dug up and up,well he thought he was digging upwards, until he reached the surface. The gecko's den was right next to a volcano that was going to erupt! The gecko began to run to a big blue thing, a lake. When he got there he dug down and down. The volcano erupted but the gecko was safe under ground. That's how the gecko survived the eruption and why geckos don't like the sun.
