Ninjas
Directions: Circle dependent clauses, and underline independent clauses.

Although some people are afraid of ninjas, since they are so deadly, I think that they’re cool.  Because Ninjas have so many enemies, they live high in trees on top of mountains.  No one can reach them in their mountainous tree forts unless they lower their rope ladders for them.  If you tried to climb up a ninja’s tree without the rope ladder, you would probably get hit with a million ninja stars.  Despite their inhospitable nature, ninjas are usually nice to children and animals.
