"How and yet you had resources to outwit the wild animals?" Betty asked.
"We could have not outwit very dangerous wild animals like a leopard and a lion they are very dangerous the lion chased us that is why we had to rush to the hacienda with high speed" Steve said.
"Next time we are going to be well armed and also we should have many people to go to the search party" Dave said.
