With his moth¬er, his sister Margo, and his brothers, Leslie and Larry, Gerald spent five years on the island. That was the start of his long career as an animal expert. They lived in an old villa. One day Gerald found a big scorpion in the garden wall. The scorpion had lots of light brown babies on her back. He put them into a matchbox and hurried home. It was time for lunch, so Gerald put the matchbox on the shelf... He began his meal and forgot about his new pets. He suddenly remembered about them when he heard a noise from the sitting room. He ran there and saw his brother Larry with an open matchbox in his hands. And the scor¬pions were free! Larry shouted “Help”, the Durrells' dog went wild and the servant dropped the plate. The scorpion and her babies ran all over the room. Gerald had to catch them with a tea¬spoon, and put them back in the garden wall. In 1939 the Durrells moved back to London because of the war.
