The children were a little scared as they entered the secret cave they discovered. It seemed like a prison, as a purple and gray shadow threw the cave into darkness. Sally slipped on the smooth stairs catching her foot between two large rocks. She gave a loud scream when it happened, but she did not dare move because her ankle hurt and her shoulder felt sore. Luckily it did not take Sally’s father long to guess where she was and in a short time she was safely wrapped in a warm blanket and carried home where her mother was able to bathe her swollen ankle and bandage the wound on her foot. secret
