Page 138 - (DK) Danger! Open with Extreme Caution!

WISH YOU

WERE HERE?

…Perhaps not. These post-card scenes of everyday life seem
harmless enough, but look more closely; unseen disasters
are just waiting to happen in the most unexpected of places.
These deathtraps for the unwary aren’t just lurking around
the corner—they’re on the beach, in the kitchen, in your
classroom… As the saying goes—be prepared!

Cliffhanger

really don’t mix well. Take heed
of any warning signs… if you’re
not riding along too fast to
miss them, that is.

The chair
Rip-off! Are you an avid chair tilter?
Let’s hope that cat can swim! Just wait until it slips and
Beware of strong currents (rip you end up on the floor with

Rocky times

Don’t be left high and dry
and crabby! Waders should
keep a beady eye open for
the incoming tide so as not
to get cut off from the shore.

doesn’t allow much time
to react, and the more you
struggle, the deeper you sink.

Broken glass

Like the feel of sand between your
toes? Be careful those bare tootsies
don’t get cut on broken glass—you
never know what else might be
lurking among the golden grains.
