Donja yelled, “Amanda, get mom and dad! Quick!” Amanda disappeared in the cave and returned shortly with her parents. Donja said to her father, “Dad, Screecher has a bone buried in its foot. What can we do?” Her dad replied, “So you named it already?” Amanda and Donja yelled, “Dad!” Their father called out, “OK! OK!” He walked slowly toward Screecher. He asked his daughters to get their backpacks. Their father saw that the bone embedded itself further into Screecher’s foot with each step that it took.

Amanda and Donja returned with their backpacks and walked slowly near their father. Their father took hold of the bone, but was unable to dislodge it from Screecher’s foot. Screecher started screeching once again.

Amanda and Donja’s father started rummaging through their backpacks. He marveled at how much stuff his daughters had accumulated and packed away. As their father sorted through the tightly packed packs, Donja and Amanda did what they could to comfort Screecher. At least Screecher was not screeching for the moment.
