Albert, a heterotroph, wakes up hungry but finds no food. He eats grass which contains chlorophyll. While eating, he must watch out for carnivores like snakes. Albert finds food but does not like being at the lowest trophic level. After eating, a snake surprises Albert and he must hide. Albert escapes the snake and returns home safely, reflecting on the dangers of his place in the food web.
