Dave and Lizzie continued walking down the road for 5 days, and they would have probably have kept on going if they had any supplies left.
“Ok, we really have to stop at a town…or anywhere we can get some supplies from” said Lizzie
“I don’t think there are any towns around here Liz” replied Dave
“First of all don’t call me Liz, second of all there is a town 3km north-east of us.” exclaimed Lizzie
“Sorry about the Liz thing but, we can’t go to the town” expressed Dave
“Why?”Asked Lizzie
“Because, The Elnora River is south-east” explained Dave
“Yes, But the mountains are still east, it doesn’t matter if you go north-east then east or south-east then east” rebutted Lizzie
“I know that but we need to go to the city of Nemberigh in order to get mountain climbing equipment.”
“Your right…We have to split up” Said Lizzie
“What do you mean” demanded Dave
“Well, we have to get supplies, but we still need to hurry and get to the city of Nemberigh in order to get mountain climbing equipment.” Explained Lizzie
“Fine but I want you to meet me at Nemberigh in five days, sharp” ordered Dave
Lizzie left one hour later and headed for the town. Dave continued towards the Elnora River. Lizzie arrived at the town and quickly went to the bank where she took out money from her father’s account (luckily she sneaked up on him once when he was withdrawing money from the Bank of Kelloney and saw his pin and passwords, she also knew that he received bank statements every Sunday, today being Thursday she only had three days before he knew that someone was taking his money). Lizzie visited the general store to buy food and water, followed by the hiking store in order to get some proper tents. But, the most important highlight of them all was that she was able to buy a cart and a horse with the money from the bank.
“I’ll catch up to him in no time” Lizzie uttered to herself
Dave on the other hand had reached the river and started to think how to cross it. He finally decided that he would need to build a boat, for the river was far too large to swim through and definitely too deep to walk through.
The next day Lizzie was already caught up to Dave and to her disappointment Dave was not too excited to see her.
“How on earth are we going to get the cart and the horse over the river?” exclaimed Dave
“I imagined that there would be a bridge” replied Lizzie
“Well there isn’t “sighed Dave
“We will just have to build a bigger boat” continued Dave
“Well, we are going to need some wood so start…”
“What is it?” asked Lizzie
“We can use the cart as a boat; it can fit the horse, us and our supplies.” Cheered Dave as if he just won $100.
“Yes, but we will still need a rudder” Pointed out Lizzie
“We can use one of your pans” said Dave
Without another thought they pushed off into the river.
