Tiff and Tim see a cave.
Tiff said, "Go in that cave, Tim!"
But Tim said, "It is dark!"
So Tiff lit that torch.
But Tim said, "It is so thin!"
Tiff takes his sack. Tim can fit.
But Tim did not go in. "I admit it. I am scared."
Tiff grinned and said, "I will go, and we can both be brave."
Tiff and Tim see a bat. Tiff and Tim run.
The bat shrugged. It said, "I don't fear this cave."
