Two children, Sam and Ali, were lost in the wilderness. They had some water, but no food. They walked for miles and got hungrier and hungrier. Then all of a sudden they came upon an egg just lying on the ground.

"Great, this egg will last us for ages!" said Sam.

"I'm not sure we should eat it," Ali said, looking worried. "It doesn't look healthy to me."

"What do you mean? It's just an egg," replied Sam.

But if it was just an ordinary egg, it was a very strange egg. It was bright green with red spots and it was enormous.
