Ruby's diary series 1 Stuck!

Many more problems

The driver explained that they had gotten stuck in the deep dark tunnel and that there was a little hole at the top to get out he said we had to get out soon or all of us would die of thirst and hunger. The driver was about 60 years old but he was very wise. We all shared our food out evenly and kept each other alive with care and love. In one of my hard times a boy called Jared was really comforting.Gradually one day the driver declared hoarsely " we cannot just stay down here helplessly doing nothing soon this food is going to run out! Who is best at climbing here?"

Lilly pushed my hand up with pride since I really was a good rock and tree climber." Okay we have two good climbers who will go first?"

" ladies first Ruby ,ladies first" chuckled Jared

" grrrrrrr I hate that rule!"

" just being polite"

"alright ! I am going to start riiggghhhttt now." I whimpered with fear.

I stared at the rocks,I started to feel like giving up already,but if I do this Mum would be proud of me.
