Why was the boy in the poem filled with apprehension? remarkable adventure here's the poem A Remarkable Adventure by Jack Prelutsky I was at my bedroom table With a notebook open wide, when a giant anaconda started winding up my side, I was filled with apprehension and retreated down the stairs, to be greeted at the bottom by a dozen grizzly bears. We tumultuously tussled till I managed to get free, then I saw, with trepidation, there were tigers after me, I could feel them growing close, I was quivering with fear, then I blundered into quicksand and began to disappear. I was rescued by an eagle that descended from the skies to embrace me with its talons, to my terror and surprise, but that raptor lost its purchase when a blizzard made me sneeze, and it dropped me in a thicket where I battered both my knees. I was suddenly surrounded by a troop of savage trolls, who maliciously informed me they would toast me over coals, I was lucky to elude them when they briefly looked away- that’s the reason why my homework isn’t here with me today.
