| Hisham:Have you ever seen the desert? | |||
|
Boy 2 : No, I haven’t. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of photos of it, but I’ve
never been there myself. |
|||
| Hisham : Don’t you want to visit it one day? | |||
|
Boy 2 : Well, yes, but the thing is, I’m really frightened of snakes. There are lots of snakes in the desert. |
|||
|
Hisham : That reminds me of a trip we once took to the Djara cave. Our
relatives from France were staying with us for a holiday and they wanted to see it. Anyway, we left Cairo early in the morning. It took us almost a day to drive there. |
|||
| Boy 2 : Did you go into the cave when you got there? | |||
|
Hisham : No, because it was getting dark, you see. We were tired from the long drive, so we put up our tents and started to cook our dinner. We ate under the stars far from any lights. I felt like I was the only person on earth. |
|||
| Boy 2 : I know what you mean. I love camping. Anyway, you were saying ...? | |||
|
Hisham : Yes, so we slept outside and the next day, we spent the whole
day inside the cave. It’s the most amazing place; the rocks look like frozen waterfalls. |
|||
| Boy 2 : Were there any bats? | |||
|
Hisham : Perhaps, but I didn’t see any! They were probably sleeping. Anyway, after another night in a tent outside the cave, we drove further into the desert. |
|||
| Boy 2 : Weren’t you nervous? | |||
|
Hisham : Yes, there weren’t any other people or cars around at all. We stopped for lunch and my uncle and cousin went for a walk along a path. Then suddenly we heard them shout, “Come and look what we’ve found!” |
|||
| Boy 2 : What was it? | |||
| Hisham : It was a huge snake! Well, I’ve never run so fast in my life! |
