The Mysterious Box

I was sitting in my living room when I noticed a van pull up in front of my house. It was the Purolator van. The mail man slid open the door and jumped out holding a large package in his arms. He struggled to bring it to the door, it looked really heavy!

"Here's the package you ordered," grunted the man when he reached the door.

"I never ordered anything," I replied.

"Well I'm not keeping it" he said and dropped it on the front step. A muted growl was heard through the tightly wrapped box. The mail man jumped, ran back to his van and sped away.

"I can't just leave this here," I thought to myself,"I should probably take it inside." I picked up the box with great difficulty and slowly carried it inside. "Should I open it?" I thought. I made a quick decision and decided to open it. Grabbing scissors I cut through the cardboard and peeled it off. Under the cardboard was metal box that was latched shut. EXTREME DANGER was written on the side off the box in capital letters. I slowly undid the latch and peered inside. A huge scaled animal leaped at the opening and tried to force its way out! As quick as I could I shut the lid and sat on the box. "I have to get rid of this thing," I thought. Then an idea flashed in my head. I never really liked my neighbors and right now they were away on vacation. It was a perfect situation! I dragged the box outside and brought it over to my neighbors house. After I pried open a basement window I stuffed the box inside. I smiled thinking of the look on my neighbors faces when they returned from their trip.
