Chapter 13
So the scouts kept walking until Duch said, “There’s something I forgot to tell you, scouts. This place is full of traps, good thing nobody has fallen into a trap. We’re supposed to avoid the tra-AHHHHhhhhh
hhhhhhhh. ”Duch fell into a trap. Lucas then said, “I guess I’ll stay in this spot.” “No you don’t,” scolded Kristen. So Lucas followed behind, then suddenly, Lucas was hung by the foot five feet high from the ground by a rope.
“Somebody help me! I’m gonna get eaten up by a monster!” he sobbed. Then Paul came 30 minutes later and did something with the rope then karate chopped it in half, and Lucas fell to the ground. So Lucas had to wait upside down a few more times and climb up deep holes a few more time. Finally the scouts and Duch got past all the traps by helping each other.
Chapter 14
“Now we’re going into a cave, a big cave, boulders will roll down the cave’s side. The whole cave is like a hollow cylinder, the two flat circle parts of the cylinder are on the sides. Since the cave is very wide, you’ll have a lot of time to cross a boulder’s pathway. When one boulder is at the top of the side, the rest will be. If you look from a bird’s eye view when the boulders are all up on the sides, it will look like zigzags,” explained Duch.
“Why can’t we just go around the cave?” Lucas asked.
“Would you rather go through a forest or this cave?”
“Uhhh, cave,” replied Lucas.
So the scouts headed in the cave. Lucas was doing fine until the second last boulder. He tripped over a rock and fell right in a pathway of a boulder .He was getting up when the boulder was three metres away from him. He got past, but when he saw his compass in the pathway of the boulder, he quickly got it, almost getting his hand rammed. Then he got past the last boulder and out of the cave.
Chapter 15The scouts kept walking until they reach a mansion-sized hole with spikes in the hole.
“Just in case you ask why not go around the hole, Lucas, it’s because the ground could break and you will fall and die,” Duch said to Lucas.
So Duch explained, “Here are vines to swing across. Don’t look down and don’t let go until I tell you to, I’ll be on the other side.” So Duch swung across to the other side perfectly in nine seconds. Then Lucas called second to cross the hole. So Lucas held on to a vine tight, closed his eyes and jumped. He was thinking, “This is gonna take forever and I’ll let go, then …,” he was interrupted by Duch shouting, “Get ready to let go!"
But Lucas was scared, he let go, and he started falling, “AhhhhhhUMPH!” Lucas fell on the edge of the hole, half out of the hole and half in the hole. He yelled, “Help! Heeeeelp!” So Duch grabbed Lucas’s hand and pulled but Lucas was so scared he let go of Duch’s hand and Lucas slipped and hung on to the edge of the hole. Then he fainted. Duch held on to Lucas’s hand just in time and pulled him out of the hole. Then the rest of the scouts swung across the hole. Some perfectly, some not. Lucas learned, “Have no fear, help is always here!”
