The next morning Jamal wakes you before the sun rises. Indy lifts his coffee cup as a greeting but goes on silently studying a map. Bubu comes around to see if you’ve got anything special for breakfast that he didn’t have.
“I heard Bubu screeching last night,” you say to Jamal as the two of you pack up the gear. “What was it?”
“Probably a cougar came into our camp,” Jamal answers. “Bubu take extra good care of me and Indy.”
“I guess Indy takes good care of you, too, if he saved your life,” you say.
“Yes, Indy is very brave man.”
When the gear is packed up, you begin the grueling hike through the brush, knowing that the heat is only going to get worse as the day goes on. For a while the jungle is so quiet that the walking almost seems restful.
Then suddenly Indy, who is in the lead, freezes in his tracks. Blocking the path is a pride of hungry lions, snarling and threatening to spring!
