After a lovely meal the boys felt full of energy, but Mum and Dad said they
would like to have a little rest and read a while.

“Could we climb that mountain?” asked Jason. “It isn’t very steep and we
would be quite safe.”

“I think it would be all right,” said Dad. “Keep together and don’t be gone
too long.”

“Can I go with them?” asked Anna.
“No darling,” said Mum. “You`d better stay with us. the boys will want to go

much faster that you.
