Charcoal:(Tiger)

I dash out of my cave as soon as I see the poacher.I race for the stream.There are reeds to hide in there.The force of the bullet will go down because of the water.I dart  from side to side.Under logs behind rocks.Everything! The lake is in view but the poacher is gaining.My legs become a little weary.I use my very last energy to dive into the stream.I swim straight for the reeds.I stay beneath the water.I know I can't hold my breath any more.I try something different.Waste his bullets.He had used ten bullets and had ten more to use.I put my nose up and quickly go down and dart out of the way. 2 used.8 to go.After 10 minuets,he finally goes back to his truck.I see a small semi.What was it doing here?
