The Secret Movement You Never Hear

The cat is very quiet at night.

It likes to move through the tall grass.

We call this slow movement a creep.

Animals creep when they want to catch food.

A small spider can creep across your floor.

You do not hear its eight tiny legs.

Sometimes children creep into the kitchen for a snack.

They walk on their toes to stay silent.

They do not want their parents to hear them.

Shadows creep along the wall in the evening.

The sun goes down and the dark moves in.

Some plants also creep up the side of a house.

These green plants grow a little bit every day.

They hold onto the wall with small roots.

It is a slow and steady way to grow.

To creep means to move with great care.

You must be very slow to move this way.

Many people creep when they play games at home.

It is a fun way to surprise your friends.

Now you know how things creep in the dark.
