Everyone rested in the shade of a huge tree, whose branches extended out over a wide area.
Bob and Joe, however, soon tired of remaining so long in one position, and finally decided to explore the country in the immediate vicinity of the safari.
“We won’t be gone long,” remarked Bob, speaking to the naturalists. “Just want to look around a little.”
“Be careful, boys,” warned his father. “Always be prepared for dangers.”
There was a narrow trail that wound toward a little elevation not far away. Along this the youths walked, keeping their eyes open for anything unusual.
“I wouldn’t mind meeting something dangerous,” grinned Joe, gripping his rifle the tighter. “Somehow I want action.”
“Didn’t you get enough of that yesterday when you fell in that stream?” asked Bob.
“It was enough for yesterday,” returned Joe. “But this is today.”
Suddenly the chums caught sight of something that filled them with wonder.
