B) You decide to search for a cool watering hole. Off in the distance you hear the roar of hungry lions and the thunder of stampeding wildebeest. Sweat pours down your forehead and stings your eyes. You hear a rustling sound in the bushes next to your feet. A little lost bird perhaps? "Eeeeeek!" Out from the scrub brush charges an angry warthog with his white tusks gleaming. You fall backwards to avoid the onrushing pig. The ground beneath you feels strange and unstable. "Woooaaaah!” you feel the ground give way and collapse. Thud! For several seconds you try to regain your breath. When you look around, you realize that you have fallen into a large hole that had been covered over by branches and leaves. "Who covered this hole? Why?” you wonder aloud. "Ooooink!" You are not the only one down here and you see the pointed warthog-tusks.
Do you?
