“A big-nosed rhinoceros was watching them”
But since they had burning punk in the bag, they thought they could light their torches again.
They waited for the rain to cease.
Then they took the punk from the bag and tried to light their torches.
But the wood was damp, and it was hard work to fan the spark into a flame.
They worked so busily that they thought of nothing except the fire.
They did not see a big-nosed rhinoceros that was watching them from among the trees.
He was almost upon them before they thought of danger.
