Anne ,Mark and John came for hiking on a hill. Suddenly they saw an old and very moist cave .They were going near it but then they heard a shrieking sound. They got very afraid and came home quickly.That night they had their dinner and went off to sleep.But Mark was thinking of that cave which they saw that afternoon.Mark suddenly jumped out of his bed and went to Anne and John's room. He knocked the door and Anne opened it .Mark got inside the room by pulling Anne inside.He called John and told both of them to sit on the bed . He told both of them that he was going to find what was in that cave but John told that ,the cave has got a rumour. The cave had been cursed by an old man and his spirit was inside that cave . John told "Let's find out if there is any spirit or not". John was not ready to go but in the end he got confidence and started to pack their bags .Then they silently went out of the house and started to go towards the mystery cave.

They walked for a while when they noticed that Anne was missing . HELP!HELP! it was Anne's voice .John and Mark ran towards Anne's voice and saw that Anne was liying on the path .John and Mark helped Anne and saw that Anne had hurt her knee so they tied a handkerchief around her knee.Then they again started to move towards the mystery cave.At last they came to that cave and went inside. It was very dark and damp inside the cave .They again heard a noise and they got nervous.As they got nervous Anne's torch fell down and when Anne picketed it up, suddenly the light from the torch fell on the cave wall. Anne noticed the cave wall carefully and saw that there were paintings of old stone age. Anne shouted "Hey,look ancient cave paintings Mark,John hey, look look ". Mark and John turned and saw the ancient cave paintings.Then they realized that the cave had not ended. They had to walk more .They walked more and came to a wonderful place .It was a place like heaven .There was a water fall and trees covering the whole area and soft green grass liying around .They liked this place and walked forward and saw many animals living there .The three children were surprised. The cave did not consist of spirit but animals and cave paintings.Then they came out of that cave and saw that it was dawn and so they had to go home now. They ran as fast as they could .At last they reached home. Silently they went inside their room.Then Mark asked John "Who told that the cave consisted of spirit?".John answered "It was told by my mother but I heard that it was first told by the old man who cursed the cave".Mark thought for sometime and told John and Anne that there was nothing like the spirit. Perhapes The old man wanted to save those animals and the cave paintings. So he created such a story to protect them from exploitation.Tthus,the mystery was solved.
