Your arm or mine?<\/p>\n<p>It was a snake which I flung away with haste.<\/p>\n<p>After that I tried to set a faster pace.<\/p>\n<p>But, had to slow down. Branches hit me in the face.<\/p>\n<p>After five days and nights of terror,<\/p>\n<p>we reached the summit. We think we were there.<\/p>\n<p>Couldn\u2019t see anything yet. We could just stare.<\/p>\n<p>Every direction seemed to be down.<\/p>\n<p>I picked dead ahead, with a frown.<\/p>\n<p>So, down the other side we were bound.<\/p>\n<p>We had another 5 days of treacherous stuff.<\/p>\n<p>We were almost ready to say we had had enough.<\/p>\n<p>This trip was turning out to be mighty rough.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the misty fog started thinning out.<\/p>\n<p>We could see a few feet as we looked about.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a fish in a brook I thought was a trout.<\/p>\n<p>Then, \u00a0the fog cleared and below us was a mystical land.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful, green, wooded, meadows, lakes, &amp; sand.<\/p>\n<p>Rivers, rolling gentle hills.

It was a steep climb.<\/p>\n<p>This valley \u00a0really seemed to be isolated in time.<\/p>\n<p>The thought of dinosaurs came to mind.<\/p>\n<p>On the valley floor there was a trail.<\/p>\n<p>It led by a waterfall , where we saw some quail.<\/p>\n<p>It led along a river then over a dale.<\/p>\n<p>Then it led into the woods.<\/p>\n<p>We followed the trail as best we could.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t stop, though we knew we should.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, up ahead, we heard a sound.<\/p>\n<p>It sounded like people. Could there be a town?<\/p>\n<p>Then, there were children all around.<\/p>\n<p>Sun tanned little faces looked up at us.<\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t afraid. they seemed to trust.<\/p>\n<p>One looked shocked when one of us cussed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not angels to talk like that\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man turned red . Said: \u201cSorry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We all followed the kids to a near by shack.<\/p>\n<p>A man came out holding a Bible.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cWell, hello there.
