Cant we go down by the
falls?" I inquired of mama
one day at Minnehaha.
YES" she answered; run
along" So, taking a box to
get some sand in, my chum
and I started for the creek
eager to do a great deal Of
exploring. Suddenly discov-
ering a path, I said, Lets
follow this path to the end"
She agreed, so we followed
it till we came to some great
cliffs. We decided to climb
them and carve our initials.
With my chum's help I
reached the summit in safety
and she, too, arrived at the
top.
After our initials were
carved to our satisfaction we
began to climb down. Here
is where our trouble COM
menced. I must have been
dizzy, for everything whirled.
