Between me and the house stood a creek with a "monkey bridge" - a single palm trunk.

The trucks bore down upon them and then braked as they saw the palm trunks that blocked the road.

And on the right palm trunk were two snakes in lateral slow I motion, curving their way toward him.

Taking their cue from the innocent Johnny, they sat down on the fallen palm trunks and waited.

He hugged the palm trunk and hauled himself up.

He let his hand fall and leaned back against the palm trunk.

He threw it suddenly, and a palm trunk was neatly severed.

She pushed herself away from the palm trunk and started towards it.

He went into the grove and found a fallen palm trunk on which to sit.

There had been palm trunks and rocks showing through the surface of the water, crossing the narrow stream.
