The Adventures of

Chapter 10 In the Cave 
Saturday, Tom and Becky walked and played in the cave. 
Then they stopped near some water. 
“What time is it?” Becky asked.
“I don’t know,” Tom said. “Let’s go back now”

The two children walked and walked. But they didn’t 
find the door to the cave. Becky was afraid. She wanted to 
sit down and eat. “Maybe they’re looking for us now,” she 
said. 
“Here’s some food,” Tom said. “Eat this and wait here. 
I’m going to look for the door.” 
Tom walked and walked. But he didn’t find the cave 
door. Suddenly, there was a man near him. Tom was 
afraid, but he stayed quiet. He looked at the man. It was 
Injun Joe! 
Tom was very afraid and he made a noise. Injun Joe 
went away quickly. Tom went back to Becky, but he 
didn’t talk to her about Injun Joe. 
They were in the cave for three days. Tuesday, Becky 
didn’t want to walk. Again Tom said, “Stay here. I’m 
going to look for the door.” 
This time he went to a new place. There was light there. 
He went to the light. It came from a small door in the 
cave. 
Tom went out of the cave. Then he went back to Becky. 
“Come with me,” he said. “We can go out of the cave 
now.” 
Tom and Becky went out of the cave. They were very 
happy. They went to the river and waited there. Some men 
in a small boat came to them. 
Tom said, “We want to go home. Can you help us?” 
The men answered, “Yes. We can take you home.” 
Tom and Becky went in the boat with the men. They 
arrived home very late Tuesday night, and people in the 
town were very happy. Tom talked all night about their 
adventure in the cave.
