CARELESS AND THE PYGMIES

When Careless finally reached camp, he was so tired that he slipped into his sleeping bag without taking off his clothes. He fell asleep almost immediately. If he had stayed awake a few minutes he would have heard the footsteps outside his tent. He awoke when someone threw water into his face. Before he realized what was happening, he was pulled out of his sleeping bag and dragged out of his tent. There, in the moonlight, he found himself face to face with a group of angry-looking pygmies. One of them, obviously the leader, was shouting at him. Careless couldn’t understand what he was saying but knew that this was not a friendly greeting. Sure enough, when the little man finished his speech, Careless was tied to a tree. The pygmies stared at him a while, then turned away and went back into the forest. They left two of their men behind, to guard Careless. Before they left they said something to the two men. It’s a good thing Careless didn’t understand their language. Then he would have known that the group would return the next morning to play a little game with him. The name of the game was ‘Hunt the White ManDown’. The rules were simple: Careless would be given ten minutes to run from them before they came after him with their bows and arrows!

In pairs, think about ways to rescue Careless from the pygmies. Write down your best idea.
