“We are here,” he said as he peeked into the opening of the cave.
“It sure looks dark in there,” said Cham.
“Come on, you had no problem entering my cave,” said San.
“Yes, but if I am honest, I was distracted remember,” said Cham.
Without a word Dunbee came from behind and walked passed them into the cave.
“It’s not as dark as I thought,” he said and walked deeper into the cave.
San followed and felt the rock wall with his hands.
“This is perfect, it’s the exact same rock that I had in my cave,” San said.
He took out his spear and drew a line.
“Not really an artist I see,” teased Cham.

“Please don’t do me any harm!” they heard Dunbee. San and Cham froze at his distressed voice.
“Dunbee, where are you?” asked San.
Cham pulled San closer. He pointed his index finger into the darkness.
San turned around and saw two green eyes gleaming back at them. They heard a hiss.
The snake-like sound filled the cave and the green eyes started to move toward them.
The reptile’s face became visible in the dim light.
“You must be looking for this,” it said and swung its tail forward.

It was a girdled lizard. The creature’s entire body was cloaked in armoured scales and wrapped up in its tail
was Dunbee.
“Please help me,” he cried.
“Will you keep quiet! I had enough of your begging,” she said irritated.
She knocked her tail down and with a thump Dunbee fell silent.

“What do we have here?” the reptile said as she moved her attention to Cham.
“A chameleon I see, nice and juicy,” she hissed as she revealed her forked tongue.
She pounced forward and tried to grab Cham with one of her claws, but he pushed his body back just
in time. San jumped onto the closest rock and threw the reptile with his boomerang.
It bounced off her with a thud.
“Please, that little toy of yours will do nothing to me,” she said.
San launched himself into the air toward the lizard and landed with the tip of his spear between its scales.
She screamed out in pain as it penetrated her tail.
