P67
After lunch, they went to visit a big cave. This was an adventure for the children. The cave was dark and old inside. The children carried candles to light their way. They went this way and that, along different passages. But they did not go far because they were afraid of getting lost. They spent a long time in the cave. The cave was a most exciting place. They came out, laughing and singing. All of them were excited and happy. When night was falling, they all got back into the boat. Singing and laughing, they returned to the village. What a happy day!
