A Glowing Monster

Night came inside. I waddled past the doorway. On the carpet was a long black snake with two tiny red fire eyes. Very dangerous. I froze. I watched the red dots for three whole minutes to see if it would hiss. Nothing happened. It was sleeping, probably. I crept closer, one slow toe at a time, and tapped the glowing bump with my beak. Click! The red fire went dark. I think I beat the monster. Then my belly made a soft rumble on the wool. It was very quiet. I sat right on top of its cold tail. Now it cannot escape.
