Orok was playing outside.

He saw a dark thing stuck to his feet.

1

He stepped forward.

It stepped forward too.

"Ah! Who is this?" he shouted.

2

Orok jumped high.

The thing jumped too.

"It's copying me!" Orok cried.

3

He ran in circles.

The thing chased him everywhere.

"Leave me alone!" Orok shouted.

4

Orok picked up a broom.

"I will sweep you away!"

He swung the broom, but only hit the ground.

5

Then Orok stopped.

He raised his hand.

The thing raised its hand too.

6

"Mummy!" Orok called.

His mum laughed. "That's your shadow. Light makes it follow you."

7

Orok grinned. "Ohhh… so you're a copy of me!"

He started dancing. His shadow danced too.

"Good!" Orok laughed. "At least now I have a dance partner!"
