And so Thaimi and her brother reached the village. And she called out to everyone, “Run, run. Men are coming to steal our cattle and burn our village!”
The villagers were scared. They ran backwards and forwards like ants when a heap is trodden on by a cow.
They did not know where to hide or what to do.
Where could they hide their cattle?
Where could they hide their grain?
Where could they hide themselves?
Thaimi was very frightened. Then she remembered something. She remembered the place where she and Angula sometimes went to play.
A safe place.
A secret place.
