“Yes. If you two get through with your job first, come and give me a hand.”
“Very well.”
William disappeared and Paul set to work. Jack was waiting for William to return and just as soon as he did, the two boys got busy in front of and around the cave. They worked arduously and quickly. Finally the boys were done and without hesitating or wasting a minute, they set out to help Paul whom they met on the way. “You have everything finished?” the latter asked.
The boys nodded. “And you?” queried William.
“All done.”
“Good.”
The boys returned to their camp. It was already dark when William appeared. “Well, did anything happen?”
“Nothing,” he replied. “And here?”
“Nothing.”
