A Blue-Ridged Adventure

"Hey Garry! Give me a hand," Mark shouted from the top of a rocky embankment.
"Just a moment," said Garry, as he made an attempt to strengthen his footing on the rocks near the cavern.
Together, Garry and Mark descended into the famous underground caverns of Shenandoah. As they entered the cavern, both boys had no regrets about signing up for this trekking trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.
"I don't think we need a flashlight," Mark said, looking at the natural crystalline cave formations that seemed to be emitting a light of their own.
Behind a large, craggy rock formation, the boys saw a small opening about the size of a doorway, and began to move towards it. Quietly, they stepped in through the entryway.
"Let's see where this takes us," whispered Garry boldly as he took the first step down a long, narrow path.
As they moved further down the walkway, the light became dimmer, and eventually they could not see anything around them.
After what seemed like an eternity of dragging their fingers along the walls of the cavern to follow the path in the dark, a glimmer of light appeared. Silently, the boys hurried their steps until they found themselves in a brightly lit open expanse, about the size of a large concert hall.
The cavern here was unlike the other caverns because the sun poured in through an opening in the ceiling.
The boys were amazed to see concentric, ancient stone circles piled on the floor of the cave.
"We may have stumbled upon an ancient Paleo-American Indian site," said Mark, who had just written an article on the ancient people. When he grew up, he planned to become an archaeologist. "This site must be at least 9,000 years old," he said. Though he wanted to stay and explore, he knew it was illegal to tamper with archaeological sites. So, he turned to Garry and said, "We should get out of here without disturbing anything."
Guess I'll come back here one day when I write my book on the Paleo-American Indians, Mark thought.
As they walked back down the pathway that led to the room, Garry exclaimed "Can you believe what we just saw? That was so great! You'll have to come rediscover this place when you're a famous archaeologist and author!"
Stepping out of the cavern, they took in the pristine, lush scenery all around them. They had a panoramic view of the mountains from where they stood.
"Think we should try to head back?" Garry asked.
When they climbed back toward the hiking trail, they discovered that Sarah and Abe, a couple of their fellow trekkers, were waiting for them. They walked along the riverside and turned the corner to close in on the campsite. As they did, they spotted Sue and Ben, two other trekkers on the expedition. The team had planned a delicious campfire meal for the night.
"Where were you both?" asked Sarah.
"We were getting a little worried about you," said Abe.
"Garry and I were just walking around. We saw some neat crystals," Mark said. "Right, Garry?"
Garry smiled and nodded, "Right."
As the sun set over crystal clear waters of the river, both boys thought about their adventure. It was nice to have a secret, especially one that they could rediscover some other time.

PLEASE HELP!

Emma was having a wonderful time at summer camp. She’d made friends with
all the girls in her cabin, and she was having taking part in all the activities, and
she even secretly enjoyed some of the chores.
One day, a package arrived at camp from Emma’s grandmother. The other girls
in the cabin were excited about what the package contained, and watched as
Emma opened it. Inside was a box of her grandmother’s homemade caramels,
which were Emma’s favorite. She was about to eat one of them when one of the
other girls asked if she could have a caramel. Then the other girls asked the
same question. Emma counted the caramels. There were ten in the box. There
were eight other girls in the cabin, so if she gave each of them one caramel,
there would only be two left for her. She thought about keeping them for herself.
After all, they were her favorite, and her grandmother had sent them to her. As
much as she loved the caramels, though, she also wanted her friends to get a
chance to try them. So she gave each girl a caramel. That night they all got a
treat, and Emma was glad she’d shared her favorite treat with her new friends.

Read the paragraphs from "The Reluctant Gardener."


"Look at the fruits of your labor, Lucas," he said, pointing at an array of tiny green sprouts. "These are the seeds you planted; in the coming months these tiny seedlings will produce an abundance of food for your neighbors, and all because you decided to give up a day at the gym."


Despite my misgivings, I was pretty proud of those little green sprouts. I was even more interested to see how they would develop. But what really surprised me was what came out of my mouth next. "Uh, Mitch? I was wondering about that personal garden you were talking about. Is it too late to plant one of my own?"

Read "The Debt” by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

This is the debt I pay
Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.

Pay it I will to the end —
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release —
Gives me the clasp of peace.

Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best —
God! but the interest!

What does the stress on the words at the beginning and end of lines 9 and 10 help show about the speaker?

He purchased something without knowing how much it would cost.
He thought for a while before purchasing the small thing he wanted.
He did not know that he would eventually have to pay back the loan.
He did not realize that a thing so small could affect his life so greatly.
