Chapter 4 - Almost buried (3)

What a terrible storm it was! The bus kept turning and turning as were going up into the mountain. The children were beginning to be a bit worried. So was I, by the way…

Are we there yet?

No. Can you see anything?

All of a sudden we arrived to a big turn in the road. And there we saw it. Lots of animals were moving around. And the traffic didn’t move: cars, buses, ambulances. Something had definitely happened! The line of vehicles was so large that we could be stuck there for days.

I am freezing to death!

Miss Elphi, what will happen if that mountain drops on our head?

We could be buried.

What about that people living in that house at the edge?

They are in danger of falling down.

What’s a tropical monkey like me doing up here?

Miss Elphi, look at Monkito. He has climbed up that tree with the camera.

Monkito, come down right now!

In a minute!

Right now! This area is becoming dangerous! We must move out!

I have to film this! It seems that someone has been buried under that earth!

It’s a buffalo! And the rescuers can’t get him out of the mud!

They need heavy equipment. Elphi to the rescue!

You did it, Miss Elphi!

You saved the buffalo!
