Exhausted from paddling, they struggled to pull the canoes up on the shore of
the island. Low rumbles of thunder could be heard in the distance.
"We need to get the tents up before it rains!" called Peter. Scurrying around,
they put packs under canoes and set up the tents.
"Come into our tent for now - it's bigger!" called Etseh. "And bring the chocolate
bars!" added John.
Sitting close together in the tent, they listened to slow drips of rain falling
on the tent. Within minutes the dripping turned into a steady downpour.
"Man, that was good timing!" said John. "We would have been soaked out there!
Does anyone have a chocolate bar?"
Etsi smiled and dug around in her food pack. "Dawhdi! Here, chew
on this dry meat. It will keep you from feeling hungry."
"Hmmm" mumbled John. "Not quite what I was hoping for."
"If we move those packs a bit, we can play hand games," said Etseh as he reached
outside the tent to get some small sticks. "First we need to make two teams. Each
team sits in a row and faces each other. Then a person from one team has to guess
who has this rifle shell in their hand from the other team. You need to try to
trick the other team so they can't guess what hand it's in! These sticks in the
middle will be our counters to see which team wins."
John had fun learning how
to play hand games and time passed quickly. Etseh even played a drum using a stick
and the cover of the bush radio! After a few hours, yawns made it clear that it
was time for bed.
